...design can even be the place where art and commerce both meet metaphysics. It is, after all, mostly by the sum of what designers produce that we understand ourselves to be living in a particular time. Nature is so slow to change that we can hardly grasp the flow of things. It is the world we manufacture that shows us how time passes. "Then" was when things looked that way. Now is when they look this way. Here are people making that way go this...
Imagine your brain as a house filled with lights. Now imagine someone turning off the lights one by one. That's what Alzheimer's disease does. It turns off the lights so that the flow of ideas, emotions and memories from one room to the next slows and eventually ceases. And sadly--as anyone who has ever watched a parent, a sibling, a spouse succumb to the spreading darkness knows--there is no way to stop the lights from turning off, no way to switch them back on once they've grown dim.

Kerns: I do. Mainly because I believe if George Bush is put in office, it will change the general flow of capital made available to businesses.

But Caldera's efforts generated a rebuke from three senior Republican Senators: Robert Smith of New Hampshire, chairman of the Environment Committee; Ted Stevens of Alaska, who runs...
Speedo's Fastskin suit mimics a shark's dermal denticles, V-shaped ridges that lessen drag by directing water flow away from the body. Adidas' version uses a compression Lycra that, the company claims, minimizes muscle vibration. Swimming's international governing body has ruled the suits do not enhance performance, and they can be worn at the Olympics. Tom Malchow, for one, will be wearing one. The 1996 Olympic silver medalist smashed the world record in the 200-m butterfly in one of the suits earlier this month. No wonder USA Swimming's Charlie Snyder predicts "a massive dressing room...
