Quieter than ever before.

Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphones.

Our best headphones. Since we introduced the world’s first noise cancelling headphones over 20 years ago, we have conducted continuous research to improve this technology. Now, we have engineered significant advances in noise reduction to make the QC®15 headphones our quietest ever. Exclusive Bose technologies electronically sense more of the sounds around you, reducing more noise across a wider range of frequencies. And we didn’t stop there. We developed an ear cushion that further reduces unwanted noise and helps create an extremely comfortable fit. It works in harmony with the electronics to deliver a better listening experience. Mark A. Kellner of The Washington Times says they “reproduce music with extreme clarity, fidelity and definition.”

Try them for yourself risk free. When you fly, the engine roar fades even further away. When you listen to music at home or at work, fewer distractions get in the way. Less noise, along with our acclaimed lifelike sound, a fit that stays comfortable for hours and the quality you expect from Bose. It all adds up to a combination of benefits unmatched in the industry. Seth Porges of Popular Mechanics states that “Compared to the competition…the QC15s are vastly superior.” You can relax and appreciate music, movies or just some serenity more than ever before.

We invite you to try QC15 headphones for yourself risk free for 30 days. And when you call, ask about making 12 easy payments, with no interest charges from Bose.* We’re so sure you’ll be delighted, we’ll even pay to ship them to your door.

Welcome to an even quieter world.

Plan Bee While writing, editing and photographing “Hive Minded,” our August 2010 story about Philadelphia’s beekeepers, a lot of jokes were made about the “buzz” surrounding the topic. One even made it into the story. But in truth, we did create some buzz, such as this email Julie Albright sent to photographer Keliy Anderson-Staley. “I was on a United plane this weekend and…I saw that Hemispheres was doing a story on beekeeping, which interests me. (In the same way that keeping chickens interests me: love the idea, but just as happy to let someone else do it for now.) I wanted to tell you how swept away I was by your photographs. They are mesmerizing, beautiful and strange in the best sense of the word. Absolutely lovely.

(I stole the magazine.)”

You’re welcome to keep it, Julie; Hemispheres is complimentary.

We also received a rare handwritten letter from 15-year-old Demetrius Cooper in Chicago, who says “I read United Hemispheres when I fly United and when I’m online. It’s a magazine that’s fun to read at home. I enjoy Three Perfect Days!” Thanks, Demetrius, for taking the time to write. It seems the kids really are alright.

MERGER WITH CONTINENTAL CREATES NEW UNITED AIRLINES. I AM PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE the on-time arrival of the new United. This month, we expect to close our merger with Continental Airlines, having received approval of stockholders from both companies on the 17th of September as well as completion of a thorough review from the Department of Justice.

This is great news for our employees, our stockholders and you, our customers.

For our customers, changes will be apparent over time. For now, you will continue to book tickets and check in just as you always have with either Continental or United—we will not be set up immediately to handle each other’s customers, as that will take time. You will earn and redeem miles as you always have, and your miles will be safe and unaffected. In the coming months, as we begin to fully integrate our companies, there will be changes as we improve our product and service, pulling the best

R1_HEM_1010_Voices.indd 1

from both of our companies.

That’s really what this merger is all about: bringing together the best of two great airlines. With this merger, we have the best people and the world’s best network, focused on providing you with the best service to 350 destinations, connections to 1,000 destinations through our Star Alliance partnerships and access to more than 69 lounges across our combined network.

The path leading to this merger has not been an easy one for our industry, our company, our people or our shareholders. In my eight years with United, we have weathered skyrocketing oil prices, natural disasters and a devastating recession.

During these tumultuous years we have restructured our company, taking it from bankruptcy to industry-leading on several financial and operating metrics—and now we are back as a global leader.

Through it all, we focused on

doing the work and making the right decisions to guarantee United would be well-positioned to succeed. We also focused on putting our customers first, ensuring, as best we could, that you were not directly impacted by our challenges. So many of you have been with us every step of our journey and continue to stand by us.

On behalf of all of us at the new United, we thank you for your business and for your support. We know you have choices when you fly, and we never take for granted the fact that you have chosen United when you could have done otherwise.

Closing our merger is one important step on a longer path— and now that journey continues as our two companies can begin to work together to create the world’s leading airline for our customers, our employees and our shareholders.

Let’s fly together.

We fly all around the world.

But some of our best work happens when we volunteer right here at home.

At United, we volunteer our time, talents, and spirit to address critical community needs. We walk and run to support cancer awareness, and help bring a smile to kids who are sick. We help create sustainable communities by greening our neighborhoods and schools, fighting hunger, and providing critical transport during natural disasters. We take action to improve the lives of those around us. To learn more, visit united.com/responsibility.

Everyone Looks Good in Pink IF YOU SEE A UNITED EMPLOYEE sporting pink neckwear or

a pink hat, it’s because he or she is showing support for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

By wearing pink items throughout the month of October, our employees become visible symbols of our support for those battling the disease and those working to find a cure.

Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women in the United States, after skin cancer.

According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), an estimated 192,370 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed among women in the United States this year. An estimated 40,170 women were expected to die from the disease in 2009 alone. Today, there are about 2.5 million breast cancer survivors living in the United States.

United’s corporate involvement with organizations

that raise awareness and provide critical care and support to individuals and families stricken with the disease by this disease has become a significant part of our portfolio of giving. During National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, that support will help promote breast cancer awareness, share information on the disease and provide greater access to screening services.

Customers and employees can also support the cause at any time throughout the year by making a donation of Mileage Plus Miles to Breast Cancer Network of Strength at united.com/charitymiles. Through the generosity of our customers, more than 128 million miles have already been donated to help individuals fighting cancer receive the treatment they need.

We hope you will join us and continue to show support for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Walk, donate, educate and wear your pink proudly!

For more information about Breast Cancer Network of Strength, visit networkofstrength.org. Peer counselors can be emailed or contacted at 800-221-2141, with interpreters available in more than 150 languages.

The United Continental Merger

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU? For the immediate future, we are operating as two separate airlines, and you can expect to interact with us as you always have. But you will gradually start to see changes as we work to create the world’s leading airline.

THREE THINGS FREQUENT FLYERS SHOULD KNOW Members of United’s Mileage Plus program and Continental’s OnePass program will continue to have excellent mileage-earning and redemption opportunities, and elite members will enjoy special recognition as a result of their status.

• At a future date, the two frequent flyer programs will be combined into one. Until then, we’ll continue to operate both programs.

• Members of either program currently have the ability to earn and redeem miles on either airline’s flights.

• Both airlines are members of Star Alliance, providing further frequent flyer benefits.

Rev3_HEM_1010_Advertorial.indd 1

LET’S FLY TOGETHER Located around the world, the people of the new United Airlines will be focused on delivering the high-quality service our customers expect. The company will emphasize a “Working Together” culture that creates an environment where employees enjoy coming to work, treat each other and customers with dignity and respect, and deliver great service.

A NETWORK LIKE NO OTHER The new United will have an unparalleled global route network with comprehensive service to six continents—North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. In total, 10 hubs will provide travelers with convenient connections wherever they need to go.

NOTES FROM ALL OVER

ON A WARM MANHATTAN MORNING, visitors to the Metropolitan Museum of Art seek shade in an unlikely place: the roof. There, thousands of 30- to 40-foot bamboo poles have been lashed together to create a monstrous, 50-foot-tall THE ULTIMATE ROOFTOP PARTY wave cresting toward the lush canopy of Central Park. Inside, visitors wander tentatively through a shaded network of ILLUSTRATIONS BY GRAHAM ROUMIEU ramps that wind, rise and fall through the piece. At the northern edge of the roof, the wave opens suddenly outward, surprising explorers with a commanding view of the George Washington Bridge in the distance.

Named for the 1972 Cheech & Chong album Big Bambú, this is the Met’s latest roof installation. Like an actual forest, it will be in constant flux until it is dismantled in late October, with close to a dozen rock climbers brought in from New York’s Shawangunk Mountains adding new growth to it daily. This morning, only one climber is clipped in, lashing poles together with nylon climbing rope, using a combination of clove hitches and square knots.

The artists behind Big Bambú, identical twins Doug and Mike Starn, have a knack for bringing the great outdoors into unnatural environments. Their last New York installation, See it split, see it change, transformed Manhattan’s South Ferry subway station into a late fall scene of bald tree branches and dead leaves. But nothing they’ve done previously has been on the scale of the 5,000-square-foot Bambú.

Near the exit, visitors sit propped against some of the installation’s 5,000 poles. The Starns, who are wearing matching shorts, are finishing each other’s sentences. “We never dreamed how joyful it would be to work on it,” says Doug. “...when you’re up there really high, working on the edge,” continues Mike. En route to the exit with her family, a nature-starved New Yorker approaches the brothers. “Thank you,” she says, placing a hand on Doug’s shoulder. And then again, in great earnest, “Thank you.”—SHONQUIS MORENO NEW YORK

CHICAGO

BARK TO SCHOOL

Before class, Mark Reitman is brainstorming marketing taglines for Hot Dog University, the twoday training program for aspiring Chicago-style hot dog cart and stand owners that he founded five years ago.

“How about this: ‘The nation’s college for encased meat knowledge’?” he asks.

“Nah, not tasty enough.”

This course on franks combines tips on marketing and purchasing with practical training on the North Side, at a hot dog cart outside the Vienna Beef factory, which has partnered with the school. Among other secrets, students learn to heat dogs to no higher than 150 degrees to prevent a rubbery texture, and that all utensils should be red or yellow, to evoke toppings.

The class begins, and the 25 students take their seats.

this year. One student is Peter Lin, who plans to set up a cart in Philadelphia, where there’s an abundance of cheesesteak but few Chicago-style dogs. He works for a company that makes equipment for the pharmaceutical industry; it saw business drop by 50 percent last year.

“I feel like I have to diversify,” he says.

Then there are some students who are simply big fans of the frank.

“It’s a fun business,” whispers Steve, who is diligently taking notes in his spiral-bound notebook. His day job is in asphalt. “People are generally in a good mood when they’re around food, and what’s more fun than a frank?”

Student Julie Dyne takes a big bite of a dog loaded with onions, mustard, hot peppers and neon green relish. The course requires a student to eat a dangerous amount of dogs, but Dyne is philosophical.

“I’m having a salad,” she says. “I’m putting lots of relish on it.”—EMILY STONE

What’s the best-selling souvenir in the gift shop at Timberline Lodge? Visitors to the WPA-era inn perched just beneath the summit of Oregon’s Mount Hood don’t go for the Timberline toothpick holder or porcelain dinner bell— both of which are charming in their own way. They want the black hooded sweatshirt silkscreened with the maniacal visage of Jack Nicholson shouting “Here’s Johnny!”: a still from Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 classic, The Shining. Never mind that Kubrick filmed almost the entire movie on a soundstage in England.

Because the filmmaker spliced a few seconds of aerial footage of Timberline’s facade into The Shining’s ominous opening sequence, Oregon’s mountain home away from home remains a mecca for horror movie fans.

“I really like that when I watch The Shining, I see the lodge,” says Timberline assistant general manager Scott Skellenger. “It’s the first thing you see in the movie, so in people’s minds, this is the hotel The Shining was filmed in.

They come in here thinking some little kid’s gonna be riding a trike down the hallway, someone with an ax is gonna come flying through the door.”

Which makes Timberline a natural destination for Halloween revelers. Two years ago, Nike rented the entire lodge and threw a Shining-themed costume ball for several hundred guests who dressed up in ’20s formal attire. They mingled with actors recreating scenes from the movie, including a Jack Nicholson look-alike who sat at a table typing “ALL WORK AND NO PLAY…” all night.

Still, wouldn’t you expect a 75-year-old hotel to be haunted by spirits less benign than a few die-hard horror movie buffs?

“I lived for twenty-some years of my life at Timberline, and I can assure you there are no ghosts,” scoffs lanternjawed employee Jeff Kohnstamm. And he should know: Like the Overlook Hotel’s Jack Torrance, he’s the Timberline’s caretaker.—TED KATAUSKAS

HAMBURG

LOVE BUGS

On a Wednesday night in August, Hamburg’s gritty Reeperbahn is buzzing.

Inside the Indra Music Club, it’s so hot the walls are damp with condensation.

Close to 300 people, young and old, have crammed into this historic venue for a concert by Beatles tribute band Bambi Kino.

Beatles tribute bands may be as common as actual beetles, but this is no ordinary show. Exactly 50 years ago to the day, in this very club, the lads from Liverpool started the musical journey that would make them the biggest band in the world. It was the first of The Beatles’ nearly 300 gigs in dark rooms on Hamburg’s “Sinful

Mile.” Over two and a half years, the Fab Four played all night shows and slept on cots in a storeroom in the back of the nearby Bambi Kino Cinema.

To mark the anniversary, New York musicians Ira Elliot (Nada Surf), Doug Gillard (Guided By Voices), Mark Rozzo (Maplewood) and Erik Paparazzi (Dirty Delta Blues) are performing four shows at the Indra.

The city of Hamburg is also hosting a wider Beatles

celebration that includes live shows at the Beatlemania museum, walking tours and the Reeperbahn Festival, which hosts rock bands all along the notorious strip At the Indra, the excitement is building.

The odd mop-top shakes in the shadows. Someone lets out a McCartney-esque falsetto wail. Bambi Kino takes the stage and shouts through a set list that The Beatles might have played

on August 18, 1960—songs such as “Money,” “Kansas City/ Hey Hey Hey,” “Honey Don’t” and “Long Tall Sally.” When the band finally takes a break and the crowd settles, bassist Paparazzi takes a minute to reflect on the occasion. “The importance of The Beatles’ time in Hamburg cannot be overstated,” he says, taking a sip of water. “Music owes a huge debt to this city.”

—CAMPBELL JEFFERYS

In the thriving artists’ community of Chaoyang, among the decommissioned military factories that are evidence of a former industrial era, a crowd surrounds a slate-gray BMW Z4 that appears to have sprung from the cobblestone street.

At first glance, the ashen sports car looks like the genuine article—albeit one with an unusual paint job. It is exact in detail, right down to the glass windows and the BMW logo on the hood. But upon closer inspection, the weight of the thing becomes apparent. The coupe, sculpted by Chinese artist Dai Yun, is composed of stone bricks, and it isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

To add to the mystery surrounding the sculpture, Anni Ma, director of the Anniart Gallery, which represents Yun, covertly moved the petrified car outside and waited for passersby to notice it. “When I decided to put the BMW on the street, I expected people to be interested, but not this kind of fascination,” she says.

The roadster has also earned Yun more attention than expected. One visitor snapped pictures and posted them to a car enthusiast blog, and before long the Telegraph and The New York Times picked up the story.

For Yun, the work of art is no mere stunt, but a statement on civilization. “Brick was a popular building material our ancestors were familiar with in a farming society,” he says. “In contrast, the automobile is a symbol of industrialization and the modern way of life. I hope the combination of these two things may evoke people’s thoughts on the two different types of civilization.”

Whether the crowds have made that leap or are just imagining a new kind of gridlock, the car itself is a nod to the mother of transportation: The first wheel was made of the same material.

Double-0-Heaven You’d be forgiven if you felt a little like James Bond as your speedboat docked at the newly revamped GoldenEye Resort in Oracabessa, Jamaica. That’s because Ian Fleming, author of the Bond series, lived and worked here for 18 years. The resort reopens this month after a two-year renovation, with new beach cottages, lagoon suites and two new restaurants that serve local organic produce and fish.

And martinis—shaken, not stirred. goldeneye.com

We can’t believe that no one thought to combine an iPad-style tablet and an e-reader before now, but the genius of the EnTourage eDGe isn’t just that you can carry both technologies in one case. The first “dualbook,” it also has integrated screens, so clicking a link in blackand-white electronic ink will open a website on the color tablet. Even better, the configuration is adjustable, so you can fold the screens back to back and use only one at a time if you want.

Planting the Seed WILL ALLEN’S GROWING POWER PUTS HEALTHY FOOD ON EVERY PLATE.

BY LEAH DOBKIN WHO • WILL ALLEN, 61

• To promote urban gardening, particularly in low-income neighborhoods where people might not otherwise have access to fresh and healthy food. “I want to be part of the revolution that changes how we grow, distribute and eat food so that the process is healthier for people and the planet,” Allen says. He started Growing Power—a greenhouse complex that cultivates organic food and teaches people how to produce their own—in Milwaukee in 1993. He also operates farms in Chicago and rural Merton, Wisconsin, and has teamed with Michelle Obama’s program to fight childhood obesity.

MISSION

HOOP DREAMS • Prior to his career as an urban farmer, Allen played in the American Basketball Association and professionally in Belgium between 1971 and 1978. When he retired from the sport at age 28, he did a 15-year stint in marketing at The Marcus Corporation and Procter & Gamble before going back to the land. “I was raised on a six-acre farm,” he says. “I went back to my roots to start a farm in Milwaukee to keep my hands in the dirt.”

MOTIVATION • “Food doesn’t just sustain our bodies—it can heal them,” Allen says, adding that wealth shouldn’t dictate access to healthy food. By teaching people how to grow organically and close to home, he is also helping to cut down on fuel emissions from transportation, thereby reducing pollution. “Much of our soil is contaminated,” he says. “One of our challenges is not just to grow healthier food, but to grow healthier soil.”

Like the Wind JAMES DYSON’S NEW FAN LOSES THE BLADES AND SHOOTS THE BREEZE.

BY JACQUELINE DETWILER

P H O T O G R A P H S C O U R T E SY O F DY S O N

THE FIRST TIME YOU SEE DYSON’S NEW AIR MULTIPLIER,

R1_HEM_1010_Style.indd 1

you will want to stick your hand through it. Go right ahead. Just as traditional fans have inspired generations of kids to impersonate space aliens (“Taake mee tooo youur leeeeaderrrr…”), this one— which dispenses with the conventional machine’s most menacing design flaw, the whirring blade— may inspire a new pastime: outright gawking.

The sleek machine’s inventor—vacuum visionary James Dyson—was inspired to revolutionize the home fan because he found the traditional motor’s clunky design and chopping noise aesthetically unpleasant. “It’s completely wrong to have the motor up at the top, with all the dust being passed through it,” he says. “I use fans a lot in France in the summer, and they’re really annoying if you’re trying to sleep with one on you, or you’re trying to work or cook.” So he fashioned a fan with a motor in the base, which shoots air over a miniature version of an airplane wing to amplify it 15 to 18 times. The result is a surprisingly powerful, silent column of breeze that uses the same force that lifts aircraft.

Dyson, whose company filed the secondhighest number of patents in the U.K. last year, says the idea came to him when he was solving yet another problem: inefficient bathroom hand dryers. His team was developing the Airblade, a commercial dryer that uses a 400 mph sheet of air to essentially scrape water from the skin, when they noticed that the fast-moving wind sheet was drawing a substantial amount of the surrounding air into the stream. The rest is fan history. After months of testing, during which engineers set up lengthy domino chains of prototypes and sucked balloons through them to check the fans’ strength, a desktop version of the Air Multiplier was released last October.

Since then, Dyson has released a standing fan and an oblong version with even more power. The only drawback is no more alien voices. But we’ll bet that somewhere in that pile of Dyson patents there’s a solution for that, too.

High Art MICHAEL CUNNINGHAM’S LATEST NOVEL IS A TENSE LOOK AT GALLERY LIFE. BY MOLLY ROSEN won the Pulitzer Prize for his 1998 novel, The Hours, tends to begin his books blindly. “I just go marching in with a vague idea,” he says. “Then I see where I want to go.”

His latest novel, By Nightfall, is no exception. It introduces us to Peter Harris, a fortysomething Manhattan-based art dealer in the throes of an existential crisis.

On the outside, Harris has everything—a Soho loft, a 21-year marriage and a collegeage daughter in Boston. But when Harris’ recovering addict brother-in-law Mizzy (short for “mistake”) comes to visit, Peter sees just how fragile his perfect world really is.

Inspired by Thomas Mann’s Death in Venice, Nightfall is a family drama, but it’s also an exploration of gallery life. “It’s about a search for something transcendent,” says Cunningham. “I’m old-fashioned like that.”

To learn about the Manhattan art scene, Cunningham spent a few days hanging out in a gallery. “I was surprised by what a business it is,” he says. “That’s part of what Peter is so disillusioned about. Art that is equal parts aesthetics and car dealership.”

Even so, Cunningham refuses to become just another jaded, ironic author writing about the tragically fabulous lives of creative Manhattanites. “I’m embarrassingly uncynical,” he says with a laugh. “A lot of the books I read are pessimistic and over it, but I’m not over it.”

The Places I Go: Sandra Lee “I’ve been going to St. Tropez almost every summer for twelve years, and I love it. I just got back, and it was sad to leave. This time around, I stayed at Villa Belrose, which has a fancy, Michelin-starred restaurant and this amazing selection of cheeses. But I think La Bastide is the most beautiful hotel. It’s more country and quiet.

“As a food person, I like to go to little hole-inthe-wall French restaurants.

The fruits and vegetables taste totally different there because they’re all vineripened. All of the cafés make wonderful fried zucchini blossoms, and you always drink rosé, even in the evening.

“Overall, St. Tropez has magnificent food, spectacular scenery, incredible shopping.

It’s a vacation of ease and rejuvenation, from the beach clubs to the restaurants and even the drive into the village.

It’s a really special place.”

Sandra Lee’s Best of SemiHomemade cookbook comes out this month.

THE NEW BENTLEY CONTINENTAL SUPERSPORTS CONVERTIBLE IS AS PRETTY AS IT IS PRICEY. AND WE WOULDN’T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY. // BY JONNY LIEBERMAN SNAKING THROUGH COLORADO’S ROCKY

Mountains, the San Juan Skyway might just be the most physically stunning road in the country. Starting in the celebritystudded town of Telluride and winding through Durango and Silverton, the road reveals snowcapped 14,000-foot peaks, red-streaked rock formations, green prairies with big brown bison and Ralph Lauren’s sprawling ranch. There are very few automobiles that can stand

toe to toe with such a mesmerizing road. One of them is the 2011 Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible.

The topless Supersports is the latest and greatest version of the Bentley Continental platform, first offered to the public in 2003. Under the hood, a 6.0-liter, twin-turbo W12 produces an astonishing 621 horsepower (up from 556) and an equally shocking 590 pound-feet of torque (up from 553).

Supercar numbers, without question.

Supercar stats, too: The Supersports rockets to 60 mph in an elite 3.9 seconds, and its top speed (not recommended) is 197 mph with the three-layer roof tucked away. With its top up, this big brute tops out at 202 mph (definitely not recommended).

Either number makes this the fastest four-seat convertible in the world. And the two turbochargers feed enough air

A NON-SURGICAL TECHNIQUE TO FIGHT AGAINST ARTHRITIS AND SPORTS INJURIES

Located at 9573 Harding Avenue, Miami Beach, Florida, The Center For Regenerative Medicine includes a team of professionals that are dedicated to improve your quality of life, paving the way to enhance the science of non-surgical orthopedic medicine. World champions, sports legends, professional and amateur athletes, dancers, and people with just plain pain and arthritis go to The Center For Regenerative Medicine for non-surgical orthopedic care. Using the facility to improve their condition, thousands of successful cases have been treated over the past nine years.

The Knee Diaries: SJ is a 60-year-old male with bone on bone osteoarthritis of the left knee. An X-ray showed arthritis of the knee (X-ray on the left). Patient started receiving treatments at The Center For Regenerative Medicine. Today he is feeling better (X-ray on the right).

This is how it works: The physician introduces Cell Therapy into damaged, arthritic cells by means of a precise injection. This process is followed by infrared laser as well as several other modalities including Collateral Artery Flow Exercises (C.A.F.E.), in order to accelerate the process. Depending on tissue damage, severity of the condition and the size of the joint that needs to be injected, people usually need a series of 1 to 6 treatments to improve. There is usually no down time, and people can go back to their usual activities or work immediately. The treatments can help most musculoskeletal problems such as low back pain, neck pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, whiplash, sciatica, tendinitis, sprain, strains, torn ligaments and cartilage damage.

into the motor that even at 11,000 feet the engine suffers no shortage of power—I didn’t make it to 197, in part because I ran out of straight tarmac. The Skyway is nearly 250 miles of curves, which the Bentley eats up with an evil ease.

In the spirit of keeping the Supersports’ weight down, Bentley has traded a few of its full-tilt luxury accommodations.

Forget about handrubbed burl wood veneers; carbon fiber is the luxury material of choice—on the dash, the doors, the seats, you name it. Of course, you’ll still find stainless steel organ-stop vent pulls—it is after all a Bentley. You can tell by the price tag: $280,000 and up.

That’s huge money, even for Ralph Lauren. In situations like this, I often find myself turning to philosophers more knowledgeable than I. Said Ferris Bueller, “If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.”

Double Play FOX SPORTS ANNOUNCERS JOE BUCK AND TIM MCCARVER AREN’T JUST THE ODDEST COUPLE TO CALL THE WORLD SERIES, THEY’RE ALSO THE HAPPIEST.

BY ADAM K. RAYMOND // ILLUSTRATION BY BARRY BLITT

TIM MCCARVER IS SEARCHING for the perfect

word. He’s telling a story about the first time he met Joe Buck, his partner in the Fox baseball broadcasting booth, and he’s fallen silent. He just finished recounting the day in the 1970s when, as an aging catcher in the twilight of his career, he first saw a three-foot oddity

running around the clubhouse.

“I asked someone who the funnylooking kid was and they said, ‘Oh, that’s Jack Buck’s son,’” McCarver says, referring to the legendary St. Louis Cardinals announcer. “He had this head on him that looked just like a watermelon. He had a watermelon

head sitting on top of a…on top of a, uh…” As McCarver searches for the right word, a grown-up Joe Buck, now 41 and one of the most successful members of the baseball broadcasting club, leans in with particular interest.

His head, as it sits on his body today, is no longer abnormally large.

“It’s like driving a Lamborghini,” says Joe Buck of working with Tim McCarver, his broadcasting partner. “I’m not afraid to say that I love the man.” detective. “Hellooo, folks. Welcome to the ballpaaark.” McCarver chuckles and shakes his head. “I love it when he does that,” the old catcher says.

CALL OF THE WILD Baseball’s three greatest broadcasting moments

hit the first walk-off home run to end a World Series, the only person more excited than Maz was Chuck Thompson, who screamed, “Back to the wall goes Berra…it is…over the fence! Home run! The Pirates win!”

1988: Two announcers react to Kirk Gibson’s game-winning shot in the World Series: Jack Buck is incredulous (“I don’t believe what I just saw!”), and Vin Scully is poetic (“In a year that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened”).

of Buck and McCarver at the start of a game is the surest indication of important baseball. And for McCarver, who has a shock of red hair, this season’s Fall Classic will be his 21st as a color man.

That sort of devotion has led to moments of clairvoyance, like when McCarver called the game-winning hit of the 2001 World Series between the New York Yankees and the Arizona Diamondbacks before it happened.

“It was the bottom of the ninth inning,” McCarver says, “and Joe Torre had pulled the Yankees infield in.” Calling the game from the booth, McCarver said, “The problem with bringing the infield in against a guy like Rivera is that left-handed hitters tend to get a lot of broken-bat hits to the shallow part of the outfield.”

And that’s exactly what happened.

The D-Backs won.

“That’s the best moment in the history of broadcasting,” Buck says.

“I’ll never forget it.”

McCarver was 17 years old when he joined the St. Louis Cardinals in 1959. He eventually called games for the Mets, Yankees and San Francisco Giants before landing at Fox. Buck’s career also started with the Cardinals, where he called an inning on his 18th birthday, a surprise gift from his father, who walked out of the booth and told his son to start talking. “It was the worst inning of play-by-play in the history of broadcasting,” Buck says.

In some ways, McCarver has replaced the late Jack Buck as Joe’s father figure. He gives the younger Buck career and life advice. They behave more like poker buddies than coworkers, constantly needling each other and never passing up an opportunity to tell an embarrassing

“He had a watermelon head sitting on top of a cucumber body,” McCarver finally blurts out before being overtaken by laughter. Buck looks at him sideways and says, “I never knew what a deformed child I was.”

Thirty-five years later, this odd couple is preparing to man the microphones at the World Series for the 13th time—Buck as the play-by-play man, responsible for recounting the action on the field, and McCarver as the color man, adding illustrations and folksy elaborations along the way.

Right now, it’s July, and the All-Star Game is minutes from starting. Buck and McCarver are engaged in the pregame ritual of hair, makeup and banter. Buck puts on his headset and checks the mic in the voice of a 1920s

story. Ask them what it’s like to work apart, as they do about a dozen times a season, and they gush.

“When you’re not with the best, you miss it,” McCarver says. Buck jumps in. “It’s like driving a Lamborghini and trading it in for a Pinto,” he says. “Tim’s always in my foxhole. I’m not afraid to say I love the man.”

On the surface, Buck and McCarver’s “bromance” seems unlikely. They come from different eras, but the generation gap usually works to their advantage.

“I think of Tim like a really, really older brother.” Buck says, causing McCarver to let out a rumbling laugh before falling forward and slapping his knee.

“If I reference a Foo Fighters song, Tim won’t know what I’m talking about.”

“No idea,” McCarver says. “But I like that. Joe keeps me young.”

McCarver’s reference points lie in the ’60s and ’70s, when he was shuffling around the country as a catcher for the Cardinals and Phillies. Things were a little tougher for players back then.

That’s why McCarver gets so upset if he sees a player loafing. He’s no fan of showboating, hot-dogging or strutting, either. And quitters? McCarver once called Manny Ramirez “despicable” for “refusing to play” while in Boston.

During games, Buck’s banter flows between pop stars and pop-ups. His dry humor is one of his hallmarks.

HEM_1010_Sports.indd 3

“Baseball can get monotonous, and there’s a redundancy inherent to broadcasting the game,” he said. “If you watch a pop fly hit to second, do you really need me to tell you there was a pop fly hit to second?”

Not everyone is a fan of their approach.

They have large anti-followings online who ridicule their every broadcast. But neither seems to care.

“Not all of that stuff is bad,” McCarver says. “It’s good to see what people think of your performance, even if they don’t like it.” But he’ll admit he’s happy that ShutUpTimMcCarver.com, a website that chronicles his “McCarverisms,” hasn’t been updated in almost five years.

The anti-Buck sites remain more active. Popular sports blogs like Deadspin and Awful Announcing have made ridiculing Buck a recurring feature. Surprisingly, Buck doesn’t sweat it, and though at times he’s defended himself online, he says he’s also paid heed to his critics.

“I’ve grown from it,” Buck says. “For example, I listened in particular to the criticism about how I try to be too funny. I thought the person had a good point, and I’ve tried to tone it down.”

In the booth at least. Sit down with him and McCarver for an hour and the jokes flow as liberally as the compliments. But again, this is how two men engaged in the throes of a bromance behave. Right, Tim? “I don’t know what that word means,” he says. And Joe smiles knowingly.

Cowboy Up WITH THE HIGHEST ECONOMIC GROWTH RATE IN THE NATION, TEXAS IS ON A ROLL. IS IT TIME TO START TALKING ABOUT THE TEXAS MIRACLE? BY EDWARD LEWINE // ILLUSTRATION BY KEITH NEGLEY SIX MEN FILE INTO a conference room in an office building on East Main Street in El Paso. They’re dressed in matching polo shirts with a corporate logo. If you want evidence that the Texas economy is booming, these guys are it. They’ve flown halfway around the globe from the corporate headquarters of their world-famous tech company in Asia to discuss building a new gazillion-dollar facility in town.

HEM_1010_Industry.indd 1

It’s Bob Cook’s job to help them make that decision. Cook, 50, is the president of the El Paso Regional Economic Development Corporation. He starts his spiel. He talks about the more than a billion dollars in recent bond issues to build parks, museums and libraries. He mentions that 24,000 new personnel are being deployed to the local army base over the next two years. He says El Paso is home to just the fifth new

medical school built in the United States in the last 25 years. The state’s infrastructure is excellent. Labor is cheap. Personal income tax is zero. The regulatory environment is businessfriendly. At the climax of his pitch, Cook hits them with an inspirational quote from Conrad Hilton, the hotel magnate who began his empire nearby.

“There is a vastness here,” Cook says, channeling Hilton, “and I believe

02/09/2010 11:55

OCTOBER 2010 | UNITED.COM

56

that the people who are born here breathe that vastness into their soul.

They dream big dreams and think big thoughts, because there is nothing to hem them in.”

Everyone knows that Texas is big.

Lately, however, Texas has begun to grow into its big reputation where it really counts: the piggy bank. The state has one of the largest and fastestgrowing economies in the country.

Aaron Demerson, the executive director of Governor Rick Perry’s Economic Development and Tourism Division, offers a long list of the state’s achievements: Texas is home to the corprate headquarters of 57 Fortune 500 companies, more than any other state; it is the top state in export revenues, with more than $160 billion; from January to July of this year, Texas gained 168,900 jobs; and it’s the only state among the 20 largest in the nation to have maintained a net gain in jobs over the past four years.

It should come as no surprise, then, that people are moving to Texas.

The state’s population increased by around 480,000 in the latest census figures, and the cities of Dallas and Houston were numbers one and two, respectively, in population growth for American cities last year.

The state is decidedly urban, with more than 80 percent of the populaton living in cities. “Without

Texas will have a hard landing if its priority remains business. Still, there’s a broad consensus among corporate leaders, journalists and academics on what’s driving the Texas economic juggernaut: strong energy prices, low housing costs, a government that encourages economic activity and great public relations.

According to Dana Johnson, the chief economist for the Dallas-based bank Comerica, Texas hasn’t been as affected as the rest of the country by the recession. Job losses didn’t begin until late 2008, he says (the national recession began in December 2007), and Texas started growing again in mid-2009. One reason for this is the relative health of the energy sector.

“The strength in energy prices

Lately, Texas has begun to grow into its big reputation where it really counts: the piggy bank. a doubt, Texas has the strongest freeenterprise economy of any big state,” says Joel Kotkin, a noted scholar of urban development and a fellow at Chapman University in Orange County, California. “And the Texas economy is based on private sector growth, not an influx of public money.”

Not everyone is so bullish on the state. There are those who warn that

HEM_1010_Industry.indd 2

was giving a nice push to the state economy,” Johnson says. “That gave way last year, when energy prices fell in the recession. But they’ve come back.”

It has also helped that Texas didn’t experience a housing boom and bust.

Today the median home price in Texas is just $154,400, says Jim Gaines, an economist at Texas A&M’s Real Estate Center, compared with over $200,000

for other high-growth states like New York and California. “Another reason we are not a high-cost housing state,” Gaines says, “is the regulatory involvement. Texas is notorious for hands-off government.”

Which brings us to the businessfriendly attitude in the Texas state capital. “The governor has made jobs and economic development the cornerstone of his administration,” says Demerson. “We just think there is a Texas way to do things that bodes well for us.”

In addition to its cattle and its bootmakers, Texas is famous for having no income tax, no individual capital gains tax, and very little regulation beyond federal mandates.

Plus, tort law reforms have accorded corporations better protection against massive lawsuits. Tracye McDaniel, who worked in economic development for the past three Texas governors— the Democrat Anne Richards and Republicans George W. Bush and Perry—says business development is a priority across party lines.

“It’s been consistent,” says McDaniel, now the executive vice president of the Greater Houston Partnership.

Others have noticed. For the past six years, Texas has been named the top state for economic development in a survey of corporate leaders conducted

by Chief Executive magazine. “The Texas attitude is considered good,” says J.P. Donlan, the magazine’s editor-in-chief, “and the quality of the workforce is considered good.”

In fact, Texas has been the recipient of a flood of good publicity recently, including a highly influential piece in The Economist. “Texas has all the advantages of being a lean and mean red state,” says Christopher Lockwood, The Economist’s U.S. editor, who wrote the piece, “with all the cool of a blue state in the cities.”

So why is State Senator Eliot Shapleigh so worried? Shapleigh, a fifth-generation El Pasoan, says there’s another side to the Texas miracle. Last

year, he produced the fourth edition of his “Texas on the Brink” report, which chronicles the problems he says are caused by what he views as Texas’ lack of investment in education, the environment and healthcare.

The report paints a dire picture.

Texas is dead last out of 50 states in percentage of population over 25 with a high school diploma; 46th out of 50 in SAT scores; first in uninsured children; third in the percentage of the population living below the poverty level; and first in toxic chemicals released into the water.

Lucy Nashed, a spokesperson for Perry, writes in an email, “Texas has continued to fulfill its commitment to public education by holding high schools accountable for graduating college- and career-ready students and emphasizing an education in the science, technology, engineering and math fields.”

Is Texas going to dominate the American scene the way New York did in the first half of the 20th century and California did in the second half? That remains to be seen. The state could be undone by too much regulation from Washington, too little regulation from within, taxes that are too low, or taxes that are too high, plummeting oil prices, or a growing population of immigrants without access to proper education and other resources.

One thing most observers seem to agree on: There’s an energy in Texas these days. If the state can avoid the pitfalls and build on its strengths, its opportunities are tremendous. If not, there are plenty of other regions of the country waiting to take its place.

“This is why I love America,” says Lockwood, who happens to be an Englishman. “There is always a new model, a new way to expand, and it seems to me that right now Texas has that in spades.”

New York–based writer EDWARD LEWINE is pretty sure his state still dominates the American scene.

A typical thali spread

Lhassi’s Great Adventure IN MUMBAI, THE FINE ART OF THALI, A SERIES OF SMALL DISHES WASHED DOWN WITH TRADITIONAL INDIAN YOGURT DRINKS, IS THE ULTIMATE COMFORT FOOD.

BY C.J. KURRIEN // PHOTOGRAPHS BY DARYL VISSCHER/REDUX THE MEGACITY OF MUMBAI has no shortage

of restaurants. In fact, there are an estimated two million of them, even some top-flight options, such as Morimoto’s excellent Wasabi, and Ziya, which serves nouvelle Indian cuisine and is run by Michelin-starred chef Vineet Bhatia. But in a city that can feel overwhelming, sometimes diners crave simple, tasty food. In this region of India, that means going to a middle-class venue specializing in thali—robust fare that’s home-cooked and served on big silver platters also called thali.

HEM_1010_food&drink.indd 1

Few restaurants have mastered the art of the vegetarian thali meal like Panchavati Gaurav. Located in the heart of south Mumbai, between a recently spruced-up Art Deco cinema and the no-nonsense Marine Lines business district, where wholesalers hawk everything from bicycles to custom eyeglasses, Panchavati mostly serves the area’s buyers and sellers, as do the handful of other nearby thali restaurants, such as Rajdhani and the quaintly named Friends Union Joshi Club. They all offer 25 to 30 preordained dishes to satisfy

businesspeople’s appetites.

You eat what you get, but it’s okay because you’re in able, experienced hands. And while there’s no question that the explosion of culinary options in Mumbai has cut into the popularity of the thali—especially among the affluent youth, who don’t want to be seen at the restaurants where their parents dine—Panchavati’s owner, Rahul Chandak, isn’t worried. “Our food is tasty and consistent, with no unpleasant surprises,” he says.

“There’s something to be said for the familiar.”

The masses who flow in on weekdays are a testament to that. Late Saturday afternoon, when there are no crowds, is the best time to get the full experience. A plate is placed on your table no more than 15 seconds after you take a seat, and the procession commences: A small army of upbeat servers ensure that the thali is filled with silver bowls, which are constantly topped off with an array of gravies, curries, chutneys, pickles and sauces; snacks, salads and desserts (often fresh fruits in custard) are added to the mix. You’ll get perfect tasting portions of dal (lentils), kadhi (spicy yogurt sauce), samosas (deep-fried dumplings), pakoras (fritters) and vegetables such as okra, yams and tomatoes. The empty sections of the platter are filled with

roti (Indian flatbread) moistened by generous portions of ghee (clarified butter), then fortified with a helping of aromatic basmati rice. Wash it all down with chaas, a buttermilk drink, or sweet lhassi, and don’t let the fact that the meal is vegetarian fool you— this is not light fare.

The staff has a sixth sense for the amount of food on your plate, and the moment a server intuits that any of the little silver bowls is running low, it’s promptly replenished. Servers hover unabashedly, offering ever more tamarind sauce or pickled mango. If you say you’ve had enough, they may look hurt as they walk away. A safari-suited Chandak will likely stroll up to the table in their wake, greet you with a “Namaste” and instruct a server to fill your plate immediately while you look on helplessly. Chandak makes sure diners are served as if they were family, for better or worse.

It was Chandak’s uncle, Radhakisan Chandak, who started the eatery in 1982 and made customer service as much a priority as good food. “Our staff is trained to stay pleasant no matter how busy it is, and to keep smiling,” he says. “Our customers have to feel good while eating, feel pampered,” he adds. Part of that was eschewing the look of thali house as spartan space lined with creaking

wooden benches under whirring ceiling fans, in favor of a loungy, air-conditioned restaurant where customers relax on couches while soft Indian music plays in the background. The change has helped transform the thali houses’ image as cafeterias for visiting traders— mostly single men in search of homecooked fare—into go-to lunch and dinner spots for Mumbai residents of every stripe.

“A good thali works nicely for a quick business lunch or a meal with family,” says Raj Singh, the creative director of a large advertising agency who has been a Panchavati regular for the past decade. “It’s like an eat-all-youcan buffet, but with pleasant people serving you, urging you to eat as much as you can.” It’s this gentle prodding, the personal touch by the servers that customers say they find most endearing about thali culture.

Another reason for Panchavati’s success lies in the quality of the ingredients its chefs use. While it has become trendy for restaurants to tout the local sourcing of their ingredients, this is the real deal. The Chandaks own wheatfields in a bordering state, as well as flour mills near Mumbai, where they process the grain. They grow all the spices used in the kitchen.

But, unlike the Michelin-starred restaurants on the gastronomy

Using the highest-quality ingredients is just part of carrying on the family tradition. And besides, true thali connoisseurs are most interested in the finished product.

Part mad scientist and part provocateur, the Amsterdam-based Laarman stormed the art world with his witty, complicated creations. Case in point: a “robot chair” that debuted at New York’s Friedman Benda gallery this spring.

This “industrial dance,” as the 30-year-old Laarman calls it, has a utopian ideal behind it: He envisions a future in which “robots can fold anything on request at different places in the world.” He’s not always so practical—one not-yet-realized design is a bioluminescent lamp powered by genetically modified animal tissue. • JORISLAARMAN.COM

Improved! crockery

Few people have taken the concept of recycling to Plate, fruit bowl, heart like Dutch cup and saucer designer Esther Derkx. Her whimsical Improved! crockery, made by baking new patterns onto wellchosen cast-off dishes in a ceramics oven, is a bold aesthetic statement for the green generation. “I got my inspiration from walking around flea markets and secondhand stores, when it occurred to me that there were so many used dishes being sold,” says Derkx, who’s based in Utrecht. Improved! works, she says, because she does it out of love, not as a form of environmental penance. On one plate, she has screen-printed an image of a man doing yoga over the piece’s original old-fashioned roses. Says Derkx, “People see the humor of the figures that are sitting on top of their grandmother’s flowers.” And that’s an improvement.

Alex & Carrie Vik

The resort town of Punta del Este, on the Uruguayan coast, is the South Beach of South America—a bustling, lively and sometimes outrageous nexus of fun. Hotel and design entrepreneurs Alex and Carrie Vik wanted to offer a quieter, more relaxing version of that notorious scene. So in June they opened the 10-room Playa Vik Jose Ignacio just 12 miles away, on a pristine, private beach. The main building, courtesy of architect Carlos Ott, is filled with works by international art stars like James Turrell and Zaha Hadid. The Monacobased Viks are bullish about the range of activities at the hotel. “Where else can you ride your horse from cowboy country to St. Tropez?” asks Alex. Ponder the question while you soak in Playa Vik’s black granite infinity pool, cantilevered over the ocean. • VIKRETREATS.COM

When style guru Tom Ford started trumpeting Los Angeles–based Reza Feiz’s ingenious furniture and BBC Chair objects, Feiz’s company, Phase Design, took off.

Though he takes inspiration from 20th century design icons such as Pierre Koenig and Charles and Ray Eames, there’s nothing predictable about his work. Feiz’s sculptural BBC Chair (from $2,060) looks solidly stationary, but it actually swivels. The feel is even more surprising. “The biggest response we get from people is how comfortable the piece is, since it looks so geometric,” he says. • PHASEDESIGNONLINE.COM

“I was a toy buyer, and I was tired of seeing so many ugly ones on the market,” says Douglas Rollins. So he joined forces with Tim Boyle to form New York–based design company Brinca Dada, and “dollhouses seemed like a natural place to start because so many people love modern architecture.” With the supersleek Emerson House ($299), Rollins and Boyle have taken the kitschy elements out and reminded us that a dollhouse can be a piece of serious architecture. Sturdy enough to be childproof, the house has appeal far beyond the playroom. Says Boyle, “Many of our orders so far are for adults.” • BRINCADADA.COM

Thirty-fiveyear-old Andre Fu has designed some of Asia’s top luxury hotels, never repeating himself but always providing a signature style: dramatic interiors without the disorientation that usually comes with them. The Hong Kong– based wunderkind calls the work of his company, AFSO Designs, “emotional,” but adds, “all my hotel designs emphasize the feeling of calm and comfort.” That certainly applies to the one-year-old Upper House hotel (upperhouse.com) in Hong Kong. Combining materials such as limestone, shoji glass, bamboo and bleached oak with playful lighting and original sculptures by some of Asia’s top artists, Fu has achieved a seamless and symmetrical melding of warm Asian design influences and a cool internationalism. • ANDREFU.COM

THERE’S A REASON BRIAN WILLIAMS’ REGULAR-GUY IMAGE IS SO EFFECTIVE. It happens to be true. Yes, he makes about $10 million a year and he is just about the closest thing we have to a Walter Cronkite. And yes, he lives atop the evening news ratings. But for all the plaudits and the silky-smooth drop-bys on The Daily Show, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and Saturday Night Live, the man is toweringly normal. Raised in Middletown, New Jersey, he didn’t seem destined for the anchor desk. He attended three colleges without graduating—a deep regret now—and was on his way to becoming a firefighter when he landed an internship with the Carter administration.

That was followed by an early job in broadcasting in Pittsburg (without the “h,” in Kansas). After a stint as a local reporter in Washington, D.C., he moved up to New York to work for WCBS. He became the White House correspondent for NBC in 1994, and in 1996 he was chosen to anchor the news on the nascent MSNBC. When Tom Brokaw retired in 2004, Williams slid into the network chair without a hitch. NBC and Williams have since won a Peabody for reporting during Hurricane Katrina, which goes HEMISPHERES: Let’s get right to it.

My parents had already educated three children when my father lost his job at fifty and the family went through financial ruin. I have worked since I was fourteen. I’ve never stopped, and I’m proud of that. I had two jobs, three at Christmastime until I was held up selling Christmas trees. My parents made me stop selling Christmas trees.

HEMISPHERES: Now your job involves sitting in a room staring at

a camera. How do you know you are connecting with the audience?

WILLIAMS: Because I’m not alone. Carl is behind camera one, Barry behind camera two, Vito the stage manager is there, too. When I can see Barry’s shoulders shaking because he is laughing or they come around their cameras to watch a piece on the monitor, I know we’re doing well.

HEMISPHERES: Cable news has changed significantly since you were on MSNBC. For one thing, opinion seems to be displacing news.

WILLIAMS: I have never, ever done opinion television, and I won’t. I’ll retire without ever doing it. I don’t think anybody is interested in what I think. I had a blast at MSNBC. We had a great time. My executive producer is the president of NBC News today. It was me and Steve Capus over there in Jersey.

HEMISPHERES: You know New Jersey pretty well.

WILLIAMS: I was driving Sunday with my daughter and she said, “How do you know this little spur off of Route 46 to hop back up onto the toll?” I looked at her and said, “I’m from here.” I feel sad for the people who don’t know the 46 cut-off from the Turnpike, who don’t know that last minute skootch to get over and then how on the way back you may eat a few cones to get into those nice EZ Pass lanes.

HEMISPHERES: What do you drive?

WILLIAMS: I have a Mustang, a black GT. I can probably buy any car I read about in Road & Track, but I have a Chevy SUV and a black Ford Mustang. I’m an American car guy, raised that way. It’s what I want.

HEMISPHERES: What else do you do for fun besides cruise the Turnpike in your souped-up Mustang?

WILLIAMS: I shouldn’t say this, because it will get my captain in trouble, but I go over to Engine Twenty-three on the West Side any night my wife is out and I don’t have to go home. I go

over there and sit in the kitchen with the guys and have dinner.

HEMISPHERES: You are a maniac. Okay, speed round. You’re a Giants fan. Favorite player?

WILLIAMS: Until his recent troubles I would have answered Lawrence Taylor, because in my view he changed the way the game was played.

HEMISPHERES: Favorite NASCAR driver now that Dale Earnhardt Sr. has gone to that big oval in the sky?

WILLIAMS: None that I worship as much as I worshiped Dale. His death kind of changed the way I view the sport.

HEMISPHERES: You’re deep into presidential history. Let’s hear an obscure presidential fact.

WILLIAMS: President James Garfield pined for squirrel soup on his deathbed in the White House.

HEMISPHERES: Speaking of which, when it’s date night with your wife, what do you eat?

WILLIAMS: Chicken breast on the grill and Minute Rice that I cooked.

HEMISPHERES: I’m not sure you want to brag about cooking Minute Rice. Moving on, people would be surprised if they knew you watched…

WILLIAMS: The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

HEMISPHERES: Favorite song by Bruce Springsteen?

WILLIAMS: “Valentine’s Day” I think is a masterpiece.

HEMISPHERES: Nice umbrella by the way, but I didn’t notice any rain. You’re supposed to be a weather wonk.

WILLIAMS: I am! When it was announced that we were buying the Weather Channel, it was like Mardi Gras in my house. I love me some Weather Channel.

Tourists in London tend to have similar suspicions. Is the changing of the guard an actual military maneuver? Or is it just a pageant staged for foreign children, like a Disneyland parade? Do English people actually eat blood pudding for breakfast? Or is it only served to foreigners at hotels, as a kind of prank? Do Londoners really say “jolly,” or do they just print it on their T-shirts? How much of “English Culture” is real? How much of it is for show?

To find out, I’ve come to Bond Street. According to my guidebook, it’s a district so emblematically English that the queen literally does her shopping here. (When a member of the royal family holds an account at a store for at least five years, the business is declared a Royal Warrant Holder.

Bond Street has more of these than any street on earth.)

I encounter a smartly dressed couple laden with shopping bags, and I cheerfully ask them to recommend some local shops. “No inglés,” they say.

I start to get nervous. The guidebook promised authenticity. Have I been had?

A tailor at Kashket’s confirms my worst fears. “Oh, tourists love tradition,” he jokes, launching into an impression of a clueless American sightseer. “‘Ooh, I’ll have the fish and chips!’”

I force a laugh, deciding not to reveal the fact that I ordered fish and chips less than 30 minutes ago.

I consider returning to my hotel. My search for authenticity isn’t going very well, and I’m starting to doubt the freshness of the cod I consumed for lunch. But as I wobble through the Royal Arcade, a covered alleyway on Bond Street, a tiny shoestore catches my eye. There are no Royal Warrants, but I can’t stop staring at the handstitched merchandise: soft suede slippers, sleek black loafers, scaly boots made out of various reptiles. The shop’s sign is written in a cursive font so antiquated it takes me two minutes to decipher it: “G.J. Cleverley & Co. Ltd.” Cleverley’s is one of the last traditional makers of English bespoke shoes. (“Bespoke” is a British term for “custommade,” dating back to the days when shoes in progress were said to “be spoken for.”) In order to make a perfect pair, Cleverley sculpts a wooden model of a client’s feet, called a “last,” and builds the shoe around it over the course of several months. The Robb Report—an arbiter of all things luxe—has called shopping at Cleverley “a religious experience.”

I walk into the quiet store, determined to give Bond Street one last shot. The place certainly smells authentic: The aroma of shoe leather hits my nose the moment I enter—a smoky, buttery musk, as pungent as the beef in a New York steak house.

I’m quickly greeted by a young proprietor named George Glasgow Jr. His father is George Glasgow Sr., a legendary shoemaker who took over the business from G.J. Cleverley in 1991.

“You could write a whole book on my dad,” he boasts.

The younger George is handsome, enthusiastic and hilariously well-dressed in a custom gray suit from Anderson & Sheppard. When he takes off his calfskin Cleverleys to show off their design quirks, I notice his socks have purple tips—to match his tie.

“The shoe has to fit like a glove,” he says, explaining the shop’s philosophy. George Jr. flirted briefly with a career in finance, but his love of bespoke shoes brought him back to the family business. “It just felt like the natural fit,” he says. I smile at the pun, though his earnest expression suggests it was purely unintentional.

The store does not post any prices on its merchandise, but George Jr. is happy to give me the rundown. Ready-to-wear

There are several bespoke shoemakers in London, but George Glasgow Sr. has never worn a competitor’s shoe.

models range from £400 to £500 (around $625 to $780), depending on whether they’re made from calfskin or more expensive hides, like alligator. (“We use only the alligator’s stomach,” George Jr. explains. “That’s the best part.”)

For £950 (about $1,480), one can own a “semibespoke” pair. These come only in standard sizes (U.K. 6-12), but a customer can choose the style, shape and materials.

For the full Cleverley experience—multiple fittings, a last—you’ll have to shell out £2,100 (about $3,275).

Because every bespoke pair is unique, it’s difficult to generalize about their appearance. That said, George Jr. tells me he can recognize his company’s products by sight.

“I know exactly when it’s one of our shoes,” he insists. He can also visually distinguish, he claims, between bespoke and semibespoke models. I believe him.

George Sr. is just as enthusiastic as his son and perhaps even better dressed. When he enters the shop, I notice that his shoes’ silver buckles have been subtly sheathed in leather.

“This way is less bling-bling,” he points out. “As they say in the States.”

George Sr. has been toiling in shoeshops for 42 years.

“The great train robbers didn’t get a bigger sentence than I did,” he jokes, before adding solemnly, “I think I can do another twenty years or so.”

According to George Sr., English bespoke styles have hardly changed at all since the 19th century. The industry, though, has undergone some dramatic shifts. In the 1960s there were more than 20 bespoke shoemakers in the West End Master Bootmakers Association. Now when the group meets for its annual tea party, only four members show up: Cleverley, Foster & Son, James Taylor and John Lobb.

HEM_1010_FEATURE_Cleverly.indd 5

George Sr. speaks respectfully about his competitors but can’t resist a gentle dig at a rival. “Taylor,” he says, his voice lowering, “is more of an orthopedic shoe.”

There are several other well-regarded bespoke shoemakers in London, including Berluti, Franklin and Carréducker. But George Sr. has never worn a competitor’s shoes. (George Jr. confesses to occasionally wearing Nikes his girlfriend bought him. “They’re comfortable,” he says.)

Cleverley’s most formidable competitor is Lobb, founded in 1849. A museum case in its shop on St. James’s Street features measurements of King George V’s feet (which, according to the cobbler’s notes, were “rather bony”).

Cleverley has countered by placing an even more important set of British footprints in its window: David Beckham’s. The company has also made shoes for Elton John, Winston Churchill and Ralph Lauren (the man).

When I ask George Sr. if his shop makes shoes for women, he chuckles. “If you’re a woman, you won’t wait that long for a pair of shoes.”

The only exceptions George Jr. can think of are his girlfriend, ’60s supermodel Twiggy and Vogue editor Anna Wintour.

I follow both Georges up a narrow spiral staircase into the workroom. George Sr. shows me animal hides: calf, pig, alligator, ostrich, snake, frog and capybara (“a rodent with a nose like this,” he says, miming a grotesque snout).

There’s also 18th century Russian reindeer skin. The store has a cache of the stuff, thanks to an amateur diver who discovered the hides in a shipwreck in Plymouth Sound.

The 200-year-old leather is in excellent condition, thanks to the quality of its production. It took a Russian factory five years to hand-roll the hides.

JAZZ AGE RACONTEUR Dorothy Parker once said, “Los Angeles is seventy-two suburbs in search of a city.” When she lived there in the 1930s, it was still practically the Wild West compared to the more settled cities of Chicago and New York. Today, L.A. is a megacity, the second-largest in the U.S., spread over nearly 500 square miles of beaches, foothills, bike paths and winding, tree-lined roads. All those suburbs—closer to 100 these days—are now connected by a latticework of some 23 freeways, with top-flight restaurants, bars, parks and hotels popping up like daisies. They’re also connected by a proud, sun-dappled plurality: L.A. is a quilt of neighborhoods, each with its own unique identity—from the beach culture burgs of Venice and Santa Monica, to the arty hillside hoods of Los Feliz and Silver Lake, to the hubs of celebrity such as Bel Air and Beverly Hills, to the woodsy enclaves of Topanga and Laurel Canyon.

If you try to see it all at once, you’re going to spend most of your time en route. So plan carefully—that way, you can hit the beaches, the hills and the shopping strips, and experience one of the most diverse, beguiling and, yes, laid-back cities in America.

DAY ONE You wake up at the edge of the world, where the continent runs into the Pacific. From your bed at Shutters on the Beach (1), a posh resort that’s more Newport mansion than Tinseltown hotspot, you look out your window and watch surfers carving picture-perfect waves, then head down to Coast, one of the hotel’s two beachfront restaurants, to nosh on some lemon ricotta pancakes with fresh berries.

The Santa Monica boardwalk is irresistible, so you rent a bike from Spokes N’ Stuff (2) and pedal south, waves crashing to your right. Succumb to the urge to stop on the beach and dig your toes into the sand for a few minutes. Your ultimate destination, though, is Abbot Kinney Boulevard, a street that has been transformed in the past decade from a hippie bastion into an upscale shopping district. Here you’ll find the rustic, too-hip-for-a-sign-out-front restaurant Gjelina (3).

out of Shutters and steer the Caddy east to Culver City and the Miracle Mile for a bit of culture, Los Angeles–style.

You pull up at Royal/T Café (1) just in time for brunch. This eatery manages to be all things to all people: an art gallery, a bookstore, a nightlife space, a teahouse and a French-Asian fusion breakfast and lunch spot where the servers dress in maid outfits in a nod to the cafés in Tokyo’s Akihabara district. After you’ve polished off your eggs and kobe beef patty, browse the store, where you can buy Mickey Kaus’ latest book or a toy designed by whimsical Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara.

Next, defy the notion that nobody walks in L.A. and stroll proudly down Main Street and across Venice Boulevard to the Museum of Jurassic Technology (2). If David Lynch were to curate a museum, it would look like this one: a collection of oddities and dead-end research projects, such as a room full of letters to the Mount Wilson Observatory, an exhibit of ancient remedies, an adorable collection of paintings called “Dogs of the Soviet Space Programs,” and Hagop Sandaldjian’s series of microminiature sculptures, called “Eye of the Needle.”

Lest you think that California culture is all quirk, drive a few miles north to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (3), which was overhauled in 2008 and boasts Boarding pass Beaches, celebrity an impressive collection, with works by quintessential homes and renowned California artist David Hockney and modernist museums —with L.A. masterpieces by Pablo Picasso and photographer operating as one of United’s five hubs, Catherine Opie. There are seven buildings connected by flying there is a breeze. outdoor gardens, so take your time perusing, and don’t miss the Renzo Piano–designed Lynda and Stewart Resnick Exhibition Pavilion opening this month.

If all that visual stimulation hasn’t worn you down, a quick shopping jaunt down Melrose Avenue will give the best of highbrow and lowbrow shopping in L.A. At the west end, there’s celeb favorite Fred Segal (4); at the east end, you’ll find vintage meccas such as Crossroads Trading Co. (5). In the middle? Paparazzi chasing down celebs. Pretend for a moment that it’s you they’re after, and then hop back into the Cadillac—it’s dinnertime.

PARK LIFE HIKE THE HILLS OF SANTA MONICA

drive up the Pacific Coast Highway to Malibu. If the scenery looks familiar, it’s because this iconic strip of blacktop has starred in more films than all the Hollywood powerhouses who live along it combined. When you get to Malibu, your first stop is The Getty Villa (5), the smaller of L.A.’s two Getty museums (the larger Getty Center is in Brentwood). The Villa focuses on Greek, Roman and Etruscan antiquities, but what really catches your eye are the lush scenic gardens, complete with waterfalls and ancient Roman bronze sculptures. Though a visit is free, you’ll want to make a reservation.

You’d also be wise to reserve a table for dinner. That way, there won’t be any delay when you get to the Paradise Cove (6) in Malibu; you’ll be able to feel the sand underfoot right at the table as nosy seagulls gaze greedily at your oysters. Sadly for the birds, you finish every last one before turning in for the night. Feeling perfectly sun-kissed from your day near the beach, you take in the view of the water to the right and mountains to the left as you drive back to Shutters and collapse happily in your well-appointed bed.

Luckily, you’re close to one of the best new restaurants in town, Animal (6), part of the small-plate culinary revolution. The fare is a far cry from the sprouts and salads Angelenos are purported to live on; carnivores will revel in rabbit loin and pork belly sandwiches. The two chefs, Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo, are famous for their cookbook, Two Dudes, One Pan, and were nominated for a James Beard award last year. Fittingly, Animal doesn’t skimp on the meat when it comes to dessert, either: Their bacon chocolate crunch bar is to die for.

Having tasted the dark underbelly of SoCal’s health food culture, it’s time to check into the modish Palihouse Holloway (7) hotel in West Hollywood. In the lounge downstairs, a celebrity DJ is spinning records as the wellheeled fill the leather couches—among them Rose McGowan, Emile Hirsch and White House fashion favorite Jason Wu. After you sip a cocktail, it’s time to retire. Nodding off, you feel cooler than you have since high school.

DAY THREE You’ve lived like a local for two days; now it’s time to be a tourist. Grab a quick bite alongside budding screenwriters at the Bourgeois Pig Café (1) in Beachwood Canyon, then drive up to Griffith Park Observatory (2). On a clear day you can see Los Angeles’ mighty sprawl, and no matter the weather, you’ll be able to get a very close look at the storied Hollywood sign. Hooray for

It serves the best Ethiopian food in the city, and if you grab an open seat at the bar, you can listen in on some of the best political discussions of the day.”

WALK THE WALK Above, the Hollywood Walk of Fame; right, the Richard Serra sculpture, “Band,” at Los Angeles County Museum of Art

MARKET WATCH THE ORIGINAL FARMERS MARKET GETS AN UPDATE.

The Farmers Market— L.A.’s original—has come a long way since its 1934 inception, when a ragtag collection of farmers from the green inland valleys pulled their trucks up to Third and Fairfax and began selling their produce in the dirt parking lot. Now, the market hosts more than 100 restaurants, greengrocers and brickand-mortar food stalls hawking everything from fish tacos to fresh berries. Its iconic tower is the gathering point for alfresco dining.

The Grove, a massive upscale mall, opened next door (think Barneys CO-OP, Jimmy Choo and a movie theater), joining the old with the new.

“Meet me at Third and Fairfax,” indeed. farmersmarketla.com

HEM_1010_3PD_LosAngeles.indd 9

Hollywood, and hooray for lunch. L.A. is very proud of In-N-Out Burger (3), so go see what all the fuss is about. Try a classic burger, or—even better—order off the secret menu and ask for the burger “animal style,” which means the patty is smothered with grilled onions, extra sauce, mustard and pickles.

In Hollywood proper, you’ll head to—where else?—the three-mile Hollywood Walk of Fame (4), where bumping into Barney, Elvis and Marilyn impersonators is only part of the fun. You’ll wind up at another worthwhile tourist trap, Grauman’s Chinese Theatre (5). The Chinese temple facade is infamous—and for good reason. When it opened in 1927 with the premiere of Cecil B. DeMille’s The King of Kings, fans rioted while trying to spot the celebrities (sound familiar?). If you want, you can see an actual flick here, but after that three-mile walk, you’d rather see dinner.

Look no farther than Palm’s Thai (6), where you will be serenaded by Thai Elvis.

Kavee Thongpreecha dons a pompadour, pinkie ring and patent leather lifts while he croons Elvis’ hits with aplomb. The food is as good as the entertainment; the standard pad thai is delicious, but if you like it hot, go with the curry.

For the perfect Hollywood ending, check into the W Hollywood Hotel (7), which features actual red carpet throughout its vast interior. After you walk it, freshen up, do a lap through the W’s A-list nightclub, Drai’s Hollywood, and head out for a night on the Sunset Strip. Rainbow Bar & Grill (8) is the perfect setting for cocktails and people-watching. It’s part Godfather hangout (red leather booths, fireplace and cozy interior) and part rock ‘n’ roll party scene (diners whose fashions and musical tastes haven’t changed since 1985, when hair metal bands like Mötley Crüe, Poison and Ratt ruled the strip). Don’t be put off by the five-dollar cover; you’ll get a free drink ticket when T.C. CONROY // FOUNDER, you walk in the door.

Jackson Hole

There is no place like Jackson Hole THERE IS NO PLACE like Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Some mountains have more lifts, and plenty others have more people, but no other mountain on the planet matches massive terrain, with abundant snowfall and room to maneuver more completely than Jackson Hole.

Located in the heart of the iconic Teton Range, adjacent to Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Park, Jackson Hole is surrounded by 97% public land—it’s the serenity of being immersed in the best protected and most celebrated landscape of the American West, buried under an average of over 450” of annual snowfall.

The Jackson Hole Aerial Tram is a global icon of big mountain skiing that represents the biggest vertical rise of any ski lift in North America. Yet for families and intermediate skiers, the Bridger Gondola is Jackson’s best kept secret, providing a lifetime of wide open cruising, gentle powder slopes and widely spaced trees. Jackson Hole’s Kids’ Ranch Program specializes in building confidence and skill in the next generation of skiers and riders, instilling a love of the mountains that will last a lifetime.

WHAT’S NEW FOR 2010/11? NON-STOP DAILY FLIGHTS FROM LOS ANGELES TO JACKSON HOLE BURTON STASH PARKS ORGANIC TERRAIN PARKS Stash Parks incorporate natural features and native materials to create ramps, rails and jumps in ‘stashed locations’ across the mountain. These eco-driven parks enhance the mountain’s natural terrain making Jackson Hole #1 in the US for creative riding. Take it from Jake (Burton) “The Woods are the Goods.”

SNOWMAKING AND GROOMING IMPROVEMENTS WIDE OPEN CRUISING This winter a 25% boost in snowmaking (bigger pipes, more power, and new acreage) means more terrain open earlier, and in better shape longer. We are also adding a new winchcat, which will ensure better corduroy than ever. jacksonhole.com

TRAVEL ASSISTANCE FOR DELAYED OR CANCELED FLIGHTS At United Airlines, our priority is safety and keeping an on-time schedule. On occasion, canceling or delaying a flight is the only option to assure we maintain the highest safety standards.

Flight canceled? We automatically confirm you on the next United flight with available seats. EasyCheck-in® units located in the concourse will assist you with information and a boarding pass—it will also help you standby for an earlier United flight if one is scheduled. If you want to travel standby and aren’t boarded, we will transfer your name to the next United flight to your destination until you are onboard.

What about my bag? Baggage is boarded on the next flight if space is available. This means your bags may arrive before you. United will secure the bag until you claim it. See a baggage claim representative.

What if I have to stay overnight? If a flight is canceled to address a mechanical issue or another similar reason within our control, we

HEM_1010_TerminalDiagrams.indd 1

will provide you with a hotel and meal voucher. For uncontrollable events—such as weather—we may be able to help you locate a local hotel at a discounted rate; however United does not cover hotel or meal expenses in this event. If we can not retrieve your checked bag, overnight kits containing toiletries are available. Please see an agent.

What if the reason for my travel no longer exists? If as a result of the delay or cancelation you decide not to travel, call United reservations (1-800 UNITED-1) to get information on your options.

Help us help you keep informed. Sign up for EasyUpdate®, our messaging service. If your flight is canceled or delayed, EasyUpdate® will inform you. Enroll at united.com/easyupdate. At home? Go to united. com for information or to check-in and print your boarding pass.

Your safety and satisfaction are important. We appreciate your business and apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced.

We sat down with It’s Just Lunch Dating Specialist Betty Sinclair, Seattle, WA, to discuss a twist on a popular element in the dating scene: the person who has the savvy to provide singles advice on how to meet people — the “wing-woman.” Betty shines some light on today’s dating scene and what singles need to consider to be successful.

Can you give us a 30,000 foot snapshot of the dating scene today?

Sure. Dating is complicated, especially for busy professionals, but it’s not calculus. Finding the right time and place to meet compatible people can be a challenge to navigate. The bar scene is just that: a scene. And having family and friends set you up doesn’t really work for most people.

Even if you are introduced to someone, the pressure is there to ask them out — and what do you really have in common with them?

So what are singles doing about it, and why do they come to you?

Our clients understand that it makes sense to consult an expert to best optimize their dating life. So, yes, we really do function as wing-women, offering detailed introductions to help eliminate some of the stress that accompanies first dates.

It’s like having your very own wingwoman

What are singles looking for on a first date these days?

One quality that always ranks high on the list is confidence. Many of us describe ourselves as confident, but are we really confident on a first date? Most likely, the answer is no, as dating is the one arena that tests our egos and levels the playing field for all, whether you are 21 or 60. I often tell my clients to take a deep breath, relax and just have fun with the process!

What do you tell your clients before they go out?

As a first-date specialist, I never want to hear from a client that a date was “nice.” A first date should be fun and exciting! It doesn’t mean that the two of you are going to ride off into the sunset, but it does mean that you are going to put your best foot forward and give the date 100% of your authentic self — the self your circle of friends and family see.

IT’S JUST LUNCH has professional dating specialists just like Betty all around the world.

Call us and discover how we can help you create a more rewarding dating life today.

What’s New

Doug Frost United’s distinguished Master Sommelier and Master of Wine

You asked for lighter options and more meat-free meals… try our newest addition, ziti primavera.

This is just one of the satisfying new entrées served in United Economy ® cabins on select international flights. United now offers vegetarian choices on every flight outbound from the U.S.

This month Doug talks about our current domestic white wine offering … Cheviot Bridge Chardonnay 2008 from Adelaide Hills. The popular image of Australia as a sun-burnt land is too limited to describe a country as vast as the continental USA, with perhaps hundreds of sites ideal for crisp and delicious white wines. The Adelaide Hills offer such a landscape; its elevated vineyards providing the cooling conditions for this pretty Chardonnay.

GETTING TO KNOW YOU ROSS FORMAN / Senior

Consultant—Wrestling Trading Cards—for TRISTAR Productions / I’m going to San Diego to run my fifth marathon. I’m really looking forward to this one because it’s rock ‘n’ roll– themed, with bands and cheerleaders on the course.

WHY I’M TRAVELING

NEVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT… / My day planner. Sure, I could type it up, but I like having everything in front of me. I guess I’m old-school.

JOB PERKS / I’ve been part of a story line at Total Nonstop Action Wrestling where I was beat up by Randy Savage. And Lex Luger put me on the torture rack once.
