...looks like a huge skeletal snare drum, but Chris Lashua does somersaults and daredevil revolutions within the wheel as he steers it almost into the laps of the first-row spectators. Men are not supposed to be springboards, yet the Ukrainian and Russian acrobats in the "banquine" perform high-dive triple twists from the top of a four-man pyramid. Humans aren't built for the gorgeous torture to which Yves Decoste and Marie-Laure Mesnage submit themselves in their "hand-to-hand" body sculpture. Caked with white makeup and executing exquisitely slow convolutions, they could be Prometheus and Promethea...

If you are one of them, we hope that you find Judith Kidd--or someone as rare and wonderful as Judith--to believe in you, encourage you and dive in with you to help make your dreams real.

"After I missed two dives, I thought, well, I'm probably out because this is probably the greatest 3-meter field of divers you'll ever...
...Angeles and Las Vegas they flock to Country Star for barbecued twang and to Dive!--the submarine creation of Dreamworks' filmmakers Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg--for simulated undersea adventures. Dive! has also surfaced on the Barcelona waterfront. The Harley Davidson Cafe is hog heaven for the customer who climbs into the saddle of a Low Rider against a make-believe open road while a video camera records the moment of sublime fantasy. And if spooky things grab you, Jekyll and Hyde, a house of horrors, is the place to thrill...
