...swirl of color, design and pop music from mad Aussie Baz Luhrmann. In the age of Media Cool, this recklessly romantic burst of kinetic excess offended nice sensibilities (see next page) even as it launched other viewers into rapture. I'm with the rapt. The movie asks, Moulin Rouge-ez avec moi ce soir? I say, Sure. All night long...

...rest of us won't be hitching a ride on a space shuttle anytime soon. We'll have to wait until private companies can take us there. Jeff Greason of Mojave, Calif., has done his part by creating the first low-cost, reusable rocket engines. Greason's EZ-Rocket prototype, which took flight this fall, is powered by twin engines that burn isopropyl alcohol and liquid oxygen to generate 400 lbs. of thrust. Greason's engines should be able to carry passengers 65 miles above the earth--too low to go into orbit but high enough to give space tourists...

Even when the home tests work, the results can be misleading. Take, for example, the EZ Detect home colon-cancer-screening test. The packaging promises "a simple home test for detecting the early warning signs of colorectal disease." It's anything but. When customers open the $7.99 kit, they must make their way through a lengthy instruction sheet to learn the correct procedure for dropping a sequence of tissues into the toilet bowl to test for blood in the stool. The smallest error--such as leaving the tissue in the commode for an extra 30 seconds--can cause dramatically inaccurate...
