...need for contact in their customers' eyes. "We've been so over-the-top busy that it's hard to always know exactly what's going on," says Dawn Darcy, a bartender at the Gate in Brooklyn. "But because of this shared experience, people here are far more apt to talk to strangers. I don't know if it's always sex related...but if it is, that's beautiful." Elliot Bloom went home with a woman he met at 2A, a bar in Greenwich Village; he is not so sure it was beautiful. "People died," he says. "I have...
...music and confess that he had forgotten the first line. He asked if anyone knew what it was. From the audience came a loud shout, just after the music died, “We were sitting drinking!” Not quite the right words, but certainly an apt description.

Jewell is also 90% white, with most of its students hailing from the Midwest...
...Zermatt action was an apt precursor to Manser's last stunt, a 1999 flight above the Sarawak capital of Kuching in a motorized hang glider. It was another desperate move by a man who was increasingly becoming irrelevant. His numerous letters to the Sarawak Chief Minister Taib Mahmud pleading reconciliation or offering to fund a mobile dental clinic for the Penan were ignored...
