...carb craze hits the soda aisles this month with the arrival of Pepsi Edge and Coca-Cola C2. Both drinks boast about half the carbs, sugar and calories of regular colas while promising a fuller flavor than diet sodas. The balancing act is achieved with a mixture of corn syrup and artificial sweeteners. But how do they stack up to the originals? Both low-carb versions taste surprisingly close to their full-sugar progenitors, but in a head-to-head tasting, C2 seems a little less artificial and has less of an aftertaste than Edge...
Perhaps too well. Idol was created in Britain by music executive Simon Fuller not just to make hit TV but also to find lasting talent for him to sign. So far the breakout star of this Idol season is William Hung, famous for butchering Ricky Martin's She Bangs at an audition; his debut CD sold nearly 38,000 copies in its first week.

Generals, statesmen, merchants, lawyers, and engineers have...
...imagination of the great visionaries of 20th century architecture, though they approached the question with their usual indifference to public taste. The pioneer modernist Le Corbusier wrote a famous essay in praise of "Mass Production Houses." He just never got around to producing one. Geodesic-dome inventor Buckminster Fuller spent years tinkering with his Dymaxion House. But he insisted on making it circular and steel walled. Americans weren't ready for a house that looked like a flying saucer...
