The NYLON, an acronym linking New York and London, is a refinement of those more familiar categories such as jet- setters and cosmocrats (cosmopolitan aristocrats...do keep up). Marketing professionals have noted that【1】the demise of Concorde, a new class of high-earner increasingly【2】his or her time shuttling【3】the twin capitals of globalization. And NYLONS prefer their home comforts【4】tap in both cities. Despite the impressive【5】of air miles, they are not adventurous people.

All this is fine for NYLONS. But not so much【19】for everybody else watching Notting Hill turn【20】a pale imitation of Greenwich Village.
