Queues at Dawn. Even so, it will take quite a while to bring relief to the long-neglected Russian consumer. Women who seek the services of the top hairdressing shops in Moscow must queue up at dawn if they expect to get in. Moscow's new glass-steel "skyscrapers" (of modest height) became functionless in last summer's heat as broken air conditioners remained unfixed...
...discourage fuss, the Beatles lead their private lives within a maze of high hedges and walls, security guards and secret telephone numbers. Even John Lennon's art-nouveau Rolls-Royce, painted with a rainbow of swirling floral patterns on a bright yellow background, has smoked one-way glass in the side and rear windows to keep the curious from peeking in.

The latest sport to feel the impact of technology is tennis, in which almost any change is a change for the better...

Kroyer promptly invented a white, synthetic, quartz-like crushed "stone"-actually a form of crystallized glass-to do the job. Seeing other possibilities, he has sold the stone as brewery and municipal water filters, made it into bricks to build 50 gleaming white villas around Denmark, in hopes of promoting them as a status symbol...
