...initial climatic shock - it helps to remove as much clothing as you decently can - you find yourself surrounded by giant trees with twisted roots, rubber plants sprouting bell-shaped flowers, raffia palms, orchids and periwinkles. As you pass a large tortoise lurking under a fern and shriek at a fruit bat flying over your head, you may wonder whether you are still in Zurich. And that's how the zoo's director, Alex Rübel, intended it. Opened in June 2003, after a decade of planning and construction, the j33.5 million project boasts such high-tech features as light...

Like a boy sidling up to the pharmacy counter to ask for, demand, his first condom, the 13-year-old Child Corliss sought out Playboy at distant drug stores, put my 50 cents in the palms of blind newsies. Before Playboy, the only magazines I had bought were comic books. Hugh M. Hefner had connived to introduced me both to the publishing industry...
...only 10,000 bottles for sale, the Clos Du Mesnil 1990 is "the Krug of the Krug in terms of size," explains Olivier Krug, whose family has been making champagne for six generations. If you can't get hold of it, try Bollinger Vieilles Vignes Francaises, made from the fruit of hand-cultivated Pinot Noir vines, or Salon Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs, a 100% Chardonnay champagne only produced when the conditions are perfect.
