...Francisco down to a Mexican resort. Lila knows the words to every song on the radio and brays them at peak pitch. (Could Eddie not have tuned in to something more soothing, like Rush Limbaugh?) In bed, Lila's lovemaking is suspiciously professional: her moves include the Inverted Corkscrew, the Swedish helicopter and the Jackhammer, and she's given to screaming, "F--- me like a black guy, Eddie!"

SCREW CAPS AND GLASS STOPPERS Influential wine critic Robert M. Parker Jr. has predicted that by 2015 more wines will be opened with the twist of a wrist than the pull of a cork. Screw caps eliminate the oxidation and taint problems, are simple to open--no corkscrew required!--and reseal easily. After decades of being associated with cheap wine, they're finally overcoming their image problem. New Zealand already closes more than 80% of its wines with screw caps. The French even use them on a few prestigious Bordeaux and Burgundies...
