...that although it may be only as a placeholder for McCain, there is a possibility of a Forbes bump, if not a full-fledged moment. Lately, Forbes is attracting crowds in Iowa. "They like my conservative message out here," he says from his bus, Victory Express II, where the cooler is always full and the snacks are never ending. On Friday several hundred people showed up in Cedar Rapids to see him. Earlier in the day he got a standing-room-only group of 700 in Davenport and 500 people came out in Sioux City last Tuesday night...
...year-old Carolyn Cross of Palo Alto, Calif., shopping online is way cooler than your average trip to the mall, and for one very important reason: "You don't have to get your parents to drive you, which they, like, never do," she says. Carolyn's dad Peter might beg to differ about that, but he does agree that letting Carolyn make purchases at RocketCash, an e-commerce site designed for teens, makes things easier on the family. "Carolyn gets to feel in control, but I feel good 'cause her shopping is limited to certain stores and certain amounts," Cross...
...regarded as one of the most benign weather regimes in history. To find temperature swings at the upper end, you have to go back 10,000 years, to when the earth was exiting the last Ice Age.

If that were to happen now, expanding oceans might flood coastlines and generate fiercer storms. And as weather patterns changed, some places could...
...longtime admirer of Chicago, I can only hope that cooler heads prevail. Atlanta, which is to boosterism what Las Vegas is to ATM machines, has been playing catch-up ball for years. It's just the sort of place that would boast about having the busiest airport, which seems a bit like boasting about having the world's largest traffic jam. Asian cities like Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong and Shanghai have become Atlanta. Eager to call attention to their commercial muscle, they all have tallest-building projects. They're like a family that moves into a fancy neighborhood...
There's a group of horn-rimmed scenesters that hang out at Buckeroo's Mercantile on Mass. Avenue who know cool things, throw cooler parties, and are the guardians of a trove of local treasures. Last week, when I dropped in, Diane was going about her merry way dusting feathers and listening to the faintest, scantest little French fairy-voice. I live for moments like that: walking into a room and being hit in the heart by a most unexpected, most dreamed-of sound. That was the beginning of my controlled adoration of Suzi Lee, Slide bandmember, who has just...
