Star Wars is currently in the midst of a prequel renaissance of sorts. Projects like The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and Obi-Wan Kenobi all include elements (to varying degrees) from the earliest-set trilogy in the main saga. With the sequel trilogy now concluded, the franchise has seemingly returned to the prequel era for fresh ideas and content, especially as the general opinion on the three movies has changed so drastically in the past few years....

For years tasting menus were confined to a tiny upper crust of classical French restaurants. At 8-year-old Aqua in San Francisco’s financial district, executive chef Michael Mina says the popularity of tasting menus tracks the economy; around the time the Dow crossed 6000 he added one at lunch for “people who want to impress the people they’re with.” The compendious Zagat guide to New York restaurants began keeping track of tasting menus only in 1996, when it listed fewer than 30 of them; the 1999 version lists more than 80, at prices ranging from $27 per person to $120....

The corset, that icon of over-the-top femininity, is squeezing its way back into the wardrobes of women seeking a quick fix for a less-than-perfect figure. And not just as underwear. Body-conscious women are lacing up for formal occasions, to go out clubbing–even pairing up corsets with jeans for an expedition to the mall. Designers like Versace, Ungaro, Dolce & Gabbana and Ralph Lauren have seized on the trend, turning out corset dresses and tops in rich brocades, satin and lace....

Last week there was plenty. Thousands of Palestinians filed through the streets of the West Bank Saturday, mourning seven Palestinians killed in clashes with Israelis the day before. It had been one of the bloodiest days in weeks: Three Israelis also died on Friday in clashes with Palestinians, including a 50-year-old schoolteacher and a mother of five who was killed when gunmen ambushed a van traveling to a settlement near Hebron....

“It’s a little weird to be playing your old team, your old teammates,” Johansson told Sporting News. “It’s also going to be fun. I’m excited about it. I’ve been looking forward to this. There are going to be some emotions, for sure.” The 27-year-old Johansson did face the Capitals during the preseason, but clearly there will be something more on the line for the Devils forward in this regular season matchup between division rivals....

They were a class apart. These fans are not entirely wrong but they somehow fail to understand that coming second is not what Manchester United does. And the argument that they can do better next season brings to memory the familiar words of Liverpool supporters, words which have lost their meaning with the passage of time....

But I’m not so sure. For me, the ad is a little to heavy-handed, and mostly because it’s simply too long: At 74 sec, it’s 16 seconds longer than the original piece. That’s just enough time to go from “Oh, look: Hillary as IBM, and Obama as the plucky Mac. That’s clever” to “Alright, already. I get it. What else is on?” Which is, I think, not quite what they’re going for....
