...when I used a big spoon and a big plate. As predicted by previous results, the bigger spoon caused me to serve myself almost 15% more, the big plate 25% more. I also overestimate--by 50%--when I try to pour a shot into a wide glass instead of a tall one, a problem even professional bartenders can't overcome. And when given a full gallon of orange juice, I indeed pour almost 10% more than when given a half-empty gallon...
...self-described "electronic evangelist," who helped eulogize fan Elvis Presley, began to develop a following with TV broadcasts that for a time reached more parts of the globe than any other religious show and claimed 20 million viewers. Among the hallmarks of his 5,400-seat, marble-and-glass Cathedral of Tomorrow, a onetime movie theater near Akron, Ohio: a 100-ft.-long (about 30 m) cross, lit up with thousands of red, white and blue bulbs.

Try getting that at Tommy Doyle’s. Sabra Grill (20 Eliot Street) A glorified kebab stand, Sabra is sure to keep your stomach (and wallet) filled. The $6.25 “combination sandwiches” are so big that you’ll have trouble wiggling them...
...will mourn them. But in the race to make Beijing one of the world's great modern cities, much of it has been turned into cold canyons of glass and steel, alienated spaces that feel as though they will never evolve into something human. And whole neighborhoods of Beijing--communities, some of which were hundreds of years old--have been bulldozed in the name of progress. "As Beijingers pursue the comfort and efficiency of modernization," says a notice on the website of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games, "tradition and history are carefully preserved."
