...such as a pilot's setting off an alarm at a secure door when his ID badge is misread. For major incidents--big weather problems as well as security breaches--the action shifts to the room next door, where a SWAT team of airport personnel are summoned around a circular conference table whose centerpiece pops up at the push of a button to give each participant a phone and computer. Denver's layout makes dealing with a security breach easier than at many airports: the train system is instantly shut down, isolating any passenger who has slipped by security (usually...

Investigation of this apparent bicycle shop revealed an odd piece of Boston history. The Cyclorama, located on Tremont St., was originally built to house a grand circular painting depicting the Battle of Gettysburg.

Motorola's snazzy new V70 cell phone, available later this month through Cingular, doesn't flip open, doesn't slide open; it swivels open. Its cover actually rotates around its circular screen. But it's not just a pretty face: the V70 packs a 500-name phone book, a calendar, Internet access and text messaging. And if all that doesn't turn heads, there's always the price: an eye-popping...

There are no other round cafés on campus, so take advantage of this one. The Sea Frost salad, though lacking circular culinary delights, offers a delightful combination of romaine lettuce, croutons and parmesan cheese tossed with caesar dressing and your choice of shrimp...
