DESIGN WITHIN REACH There's an empty space hidden inside the Coffee Towers cappuccino cup by Miam Miam ($50 for a set of two)--an airless pocket between the stainless steel and the porcelain that acts as an insulator to keep your java hot. The company's new Delite series of stoneware plates ($10 to $18 a piece) serves appetizers in style...

Working from her airless cubicle at city hall for 18 months, she says she tried to keep the town on course, even started a Yard of the Month beautification program, but admits she didn't push and yell like the mayor...
