Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:26:04 GMT

PARIS (AP) — The Tour d’Argent already boasts a 320,000-bottle wine cellar, a world-famous duck recipe and a storied 441-year history. Now, the legendary Paris restaurant is about to serve up its “plat de résistance”: a front-row view of two of the biggest events of 2024 — the renaissance of Notre Dame Cathedral and the 2024 Summer Olympics.A city landmark unto itself — and an inspiration for the restaurant in the movie “Ratatouille’’ — the Tour d’Argent recently reopened after its own renovation, which preserved revered traditions while adapting to the 21st century.‘’It’s very reassuring for many customers to see that such establishments are still present in our history, and in French gastronomic history,’’ owner and CEO André Terrail told the Associated Press.The restaurant claims to be the oldest in Paris, its 1582 opening date embossed on the doors.

College football postseason changes have all but ended the chances of a split national championship

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:26:04 GMT

The question seemed like a valid one moments after unbeaten ACC champion Florida State was left out of the College Football Playoff.Could the fourth-ranked Seminoles, with a victory against defending national champion and No. 6 Georgia in the Orange Bowl, be voted No. 1 in the final Associated Press Top 25 college football poll?“As a matter of principle, I’d consider ranking Florida State No. 1 regardless of whether they are in the CFP field,” said ESPN’s Rece Davis, a longtime AP Top 25 voter. “Much like the selection process itself, the exercise is who, in my judgment, is the best team.”In reality, though, the current state of college football’s postseason all but renders the conversation moot.Between players transferring or opting out to concentrate on NFL draft preparations and coaching staffs turned upside down by hirings and firings, the better question these days is how much consideration should poll voters give to postseason games outside the CFP at a...

(CNN) — Cuando se supo que un alto asesor del candidato presidencial republicano Vivek Ramaswamy se uniría a la campaña del expresidente Donald Trump el mes pasado, los asesores de Trump se pusieron furiosos creyendo que el asesor se estaba promocionando a sí mismo, sin el permiso de los altos mandos de la campaña.El asesor principal de la campaña de Trump, Chris LaCivita, llamó al miembro más nuevo del equipo, Brian Swenson, y “lo atacó”, según dos fuentes familiarizadas con la conversación. El mensaje era claro: si quieres conservar tu trabajo, deja de hablar, dijo la fuente. Swenson no respondió a la solicitud de comentarios de CNN.El episodio fue indicativo de cómo el equipo de Trump para 2024 trató de centrar los mensajes y los medios que rodean el caótico mundo del favorito a la nominación republicana. Su equipo es visto tanto por agentes políticos externos como por funcionarios actuales y anteriores de Trump como el más disciplinado hasta la fecha. Dirigido por los expe...
