...closely enough. Here's a sample line that floats on the inside back cover: "When all these things we have come to love pass by, the world will seem empty and alone. How strange this place will be without my practicing eye. How devoid of charm that residue of foam...
...nutritious beverage, yet that is exactly what folks are ingesting when they consume potions containing 1, 4-butanediol, a chemical cousin of the illegal "date-rape" drug GHB. Though so-called dietary supplements containing 1, 4-butanediol are banned--and the pure stuff can melt a plastic-foam cup--1, 4-butanediol is still peddled on the Internet for its supposed body-building, aphrodisiac and energy-boosting powers. Researchers report that in 1999 at least six Americans suffered coma, seizures or respiratory arrest after ingesting 1, 4-butanediol...
...lawsuit contesting the election, and I was mildly alarmed by the Vice President's brief press conference, when he pronounced himself "optimistic" (Who's unbalanced now?

Since I had just come from real riots in Berkeley, it was hard not to feel, even then, that Steve Allen...
...Food Network's gimmicky Iron Chef era, finding a simple cooking program on the channel is becoming as difficult as finding a video on MTV. For that, this high-profile launch is welcome, even if it's as precious and trendy as a truffle-emulsion foam. British superchef/pretty boy Jamie Oliver isn't actually naked--the title refers to his minimalist recipes--but his artfully disheveled, Prada-model looks probably didn't hamper his TV deal. To be fair, this gravy-boat dreamboat is professional and informative. But his languid preening, the jerky handheld camera and the Brit-pop sound...
