Harry Connick, Jr.

Love, Music, Best

Lewis Thomas

Knowledge, Medical, Today

The cool parts - the parts that have won Dubai its reputation as 'the Vegas of the Middle East' or 'the Venice of the Middle East' or 'the Disney World of the Middle East, if Disney World were the size of San Francisco and out in a desert' - have been built in the last ten years.
George Saunders

Cool, Last, Won

George Strait

Down, Two, After
