...preparing to throw herself from her fourth-story apartment, having lost the will to write. For someone who has never wanted to be anything but a writer - a brief career in door-to-door brush sales came to naught - that's a terrible predicament. Compounding matters was the slipped disc in her neck. "I was in constant physical pain for about three years. It's annoying and very tiring and it makes you very bad-tempered," and, she says, may explain her reputation as a prickly interview. What broke her suicidal spell that day was the sound from a neighboring...
...JewelCube speakers. A $5,853 version, the Lifestyle 38, comes with larger speakers and a smaller drive that holds 200 hours of music. Here's how it works: first you load your CDs, one at a time, into the CD player. It takes about five minutes to rip each disc and convert tracks into MP3s. Then each time you play a song, you can either mark it as a favorite (using the "+" button on the remote) or give it a thumbs-down (with the "?" button). The uMusic system stores your preferences, then creates customized presets that play songs you have...
...their would-be four-star palaces, places where morsels of fennel confit repose in their pools of lemon jus, where there's almost as much Prada on the clientele as there is at most Prada stores and where the wine list has bottles that cost more than a six-disc CD player.

Then each time you play a song, you can either mark it as a favorite (using the "+" button on the remote) or give it a thumbs-down (with the "--" button). The uMusic system stores your preferences, then creates customized presets that play songs you have indicated you like, as well as tunes from your collection that have a similar mood, melody or genre. It makes these calculations using...
Still, in the Toyota tradition, the tC offers terrific value in a low-key package. For a base price of $16,465, it comes with a sport-tuned suspension, antilock disc brakes, 17-in. alloy wheels and a chrome-tipped exhaust. Under the hood, there's a 160-h.p. four-cylinder engine. I didn't expect pulse-pumping pickup and didn't get it. But the five-speed manual I drove shifted smoothly in L.A. traffic. The steering was responsive, the ride firm, and during the brief spells in which I clocked more than 10 m.p.h. on the clogged freeway...
