...headphones at up to 30 feet from the iPod itself, this is really for close-in convenience. Instead of having a cord dangling awkwardly from your head down to your pocket, purse or backpack, you have the freedom to hide your iPod away. Set your playlist, drop it in your bag, then wander around, letting people on the sidewalk, at the gym or on the bus wonder where your music comes from...
...only swills but dresses to kill, they understandably turned to Disco Diva Grace Jones. Due out this summer, the film casts Jamaica-born Jones as Katrina, a 2,000-year-old Egyptian vampire who works in a U.S. nightclub. For a scene in which Katrina performs one of her drop-dead stage acts, Jones' friend, New York Artist Keith Haring, agreed to body-paint her with his characteristic style.

The ursine Buchanan also purchased a $300 porcelain polar bear for his wife. At the cash register, Rowny playfully solicited...
...shooting down of the plane touched off a round of recriminations between Washington and Managua. "We now have Americans dying in Mr. Reagan's dirty war," said the Foreign Ministry's Bendaņa. In Washington, Administration officials insisted that the arms drop was a "private" matter they knew nothing about. Said State Department Spokesman Charles Redman: "The U.S. Government had no connections with the flight, the plane, the crew or the cargo." Declared Kathy Pherson, spokeswoman for the CIA: "The guy doesn't work for us, and CIA is not involved. There are congressional restrictions on assistance to the contras...
