...studying the spiders, beetles, aquatic snails and other invertebrates that shun the sunlit world have led Clarke into many of Tasmania's darkest corners, often by very uncomfortable routes. So for a caver who thinks nothing of slithering on his belly along an underground tunnel just wide enough to fit his body, with only his head above water - "we call it roof sniffing," he says - the entrance he's plunging into is like a portico...
...Palms Casino Resort, which opened at the end of 2001, decided to aim even younger. The Maloof brothers, who own the Sacramento Kings basketball team, sold their local casino and built the Palms off-Strip and gave it no particular theme, figuring Vegas visitors would find out which hotel fit their demographic.

...auction house while one of his paintings by Jean-Michel Basquiat sells for $5.5 million. Hammett is so indecisive that you wonder how he manages to pick a guitar chord. Even performance coach Towle, a middle-aged man in a series of Cosby-meets-Rorschach sweaters, throws a small fit when the subject of curtailing therapy finally arises. "Remember, these guys are our clients," says Berlinger. "And God's honest truth, they never gave us one vanity note - not a single instruction to take something...
