My family and I had a slightly surreal experience last night. After an evening swim, we wrapped up in blankets and sat on loungers under the stars to watch Mrs Doubtfire by the swimming pool at the Claremont. About halfway through the film, Robin Williams and cast walk into a swanky swimming club that just happens to be the Claremont. Very odd sensation.

Tyler Cowen on How “American” Is Globalization?: “This wide-ranging book is the definitive current source on which cultures are gaining and losing in respective cultural areas. The bottom line of this book? The world is not becoming Americanized. Very highly recommended.”
