...back, it is immediately apparent that the sheets have not been washed. The crew gathers around, riddling the bed's backstory like an episode of CSI: Pahrump. Though the Chicken Ranch management is horribly embarrassed by the lack of hygiene, Sykes, dressed in a velvet flapper outfit in the 100?? heat, takes the situation in stride. Diamond, who changes the sheets, is also unfazed...
...after game after game? At the 66th All-Star Game last week, Ripken, who was just 54 games shy of Lou Gehrig's record for consecutive games played (2,130), spent close to an hour signing autographs for the fans, working his way from dugout to dugout in the 100?? heat while most of his peers were relaxing in the air-conditioned comfort of their clubhouses...
...accident and to help shield them from air temperatures that could soar to 120° F in summer. Refrigerated to keep the highly volatile gas in its liquid form, the tanks were also equipped with thermostats, valves and other devices to warn when the temperature of the chemical exceeded 100?? F, the point at which the liquid turns into a gas. Should the temperature rise further, the gas would expand, increasing pressure on the inside of the tank. Should the pressure build, a relief valve would vent the gas in order to prevent a rupture of the tank...
Almost two hours before the gas escaped, a workman noticed that the temperature in the tanks was well above 100?? F and rising steadily. As a result, pressure in the tanks was mounting. The worker tried to manually operate the mechanisms that were supposed to relieve the pressure, but it had already gone too high.

VIPS began slipping into town, ferried between meetings in stretch limousines, some with real Texas longhorns protruding from their hoods. The blast-furnace August climate was performing on cue, with temperatures reaching the 100?? mark. But the Big D's air-conditioned interiors were frigid enough to give a reasonable life expectancy to the ice-sculpted elephants that will serve as mascots at off-hours bashes. In short, the stage was set last week for the Republicans' Lone Star love fest, their 33rd national...
