...entire scheme is an essay in riotous cod rococo: swagged chintz, contorted gilt (even the bathroom fittings are gold-plated) and vibrant color (the bedroom juxtaposes canary yellow with magenta). The penthouse walls are decorated with gesso oak branches mounted on mirror to evoke the tangled briars that grew up around Sleeping Beauty's castle. There are lamp fittings shaped like birdcages, twig-like door handles on which perch golden birds, a tented ceiling, painted silk walls and an abundance of cherubs and shells, as well as a number of watercolors by Messel, two of them designs for The Sleeping...
...prove the Big Bang theory. Mather was infuriated when Smoot, in 1992, announced some results of their collaborative research in what Mather alleged was a grab for solo glory. But after they won the prize last week, the pair seemed buddy-buddy again. Nothing brings people together like shiny gold medals and a check for $1.4 million...

And the '80s notion that fashion will be about athletic wear in ever more technologically advanced fabrics still has plenty of currency...
...room messages and underage-looking actresses to lure a parade of doctors, engineers and Marines to assignations in unassuming houses. There, guys with online handles like "sebastian_for_u" are surprised by reporter Chris Hansen, who grills and humiliates them before handing them over to cops. "Predator" is ratings gold, a jaw-dropping combination of public service and blood sport that lets viewers indulge their voyeurism righteously--like the Colosseum, if the lions were allowed to eat only the really, really evil Christians...
