...Whitefield, a remote suburb of Bangalore, made headlines on those rare occasions when gangs of armed bandits burst into homes at night. Today that former stretch of farmland and scattered houses is disturbed only by giant cranes, cement mixers and trucks piled up with white sand. Buildings of glass and steel are rising all over, as Bangalore's fast-expanding outsourcing industry radiates far beyond the city. Perhaps the most impressive spot in Whitefield is the campus of SAP Labs. The main building, with its comfortable sofas and a sunny atrium, is a sumptuous workplace by Indian standards...
...explanations. During the month of December, sales of Pinot Noir increased 15% in one New York City store, but it's in restaurants where the buzz is greatest. At Sona in Los Angeles, sommelier Mark Mendoza says, "The increase is remarkable." And at Las Vegas' Sensi, sales by the glass are up 30% for the 2001 Sokol Blosser Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. Sommelier Rob Bigelow says, "The impact of the movie on sales is huge. It's almost as though it's introducing people to Pinot Noir." In New York City, Fred Dexheimer, beverage director for BLT Steak...
...capture particles of a single substance. They knew that multiple traps, used in tandem, could let scientists play traffic cops on a molecular level, separating a substance into component parts--removing bacteria from blood, for example. For a year, Grier and Dufresne had been trying out fancy glass splitters, but nothing had done the trick. As a joke, Grier tried a $5 piece of plastic. "It should not have worked," he says.

...more than a little jarring to find the stereotypical d?cor of the Wild West here (from longhorns mounted over the stage to wagon wheels doubling as glass racks over the bar), in one of the world's last Communist capitals?a place that was at war with the U.S. just a generation ago. Indeed, the neighboring train station was bombed to smithereens by American warplanes in 1972. For years after the war, "decadent" rock and pop music was only played behind closed doors. And as recently as 10 years ago, the few bars to be found were shut down...
