...seated while the men rotate, making the whole process feel like a hurried job interview. Except with more monotony. Where are you from? What do you do? But one question remained unasked, the question on everyone's mind: Why are you still single? Or put another way: What the hell's wrong with you? One guy speaks only to my cleavage. Another mistakes the event for speed ranting and spends the interval complaining about his job. Three minutes with a man who smells like dirt and sulphur is an eternity. Of the seven men that I date, there...
...might be unfair comparisons if Kingpin didn't so showily invite them.) In typical network style, Kingpin's characters let you know precisely what they're thinking, either in workmanlike soap speak or the florid language of banditos from a late-night western ("I have seen the flames of hell! I have swam through rivers of blood!"). The Mexican characters speak a thickly accented English laced with Spanish--"Gracias!" "De nada!"--as if to remind us we are not in Milwaukee...
...Fiats." Even more controversially, Agnelli also later sold almost 10% of Fiat to Libya in 1976, before eventually buying it back. Agnelli's business ambitions also began to spread into other sectors, including insurance, banking, media and ownership of his beloved Turin football team, Juventus.

In a goodbye letter to colleagues he torched his former bosses at the New York Times for ending the IHT as an "independent newspaper, with its own voice and its own international outlook." Goldmark admitted he was breaking the corporate code, under which outgoing CEOs shut up and take the money. "Believe me, I will pay dearly for this, both financially and in other coin," he wrote...
...Discovered in 1941, this hidden canyon in the Kronotsky Nature Preserve is one of the world's geothermal wonders. Rickety boardwalks snake through a hell's kitchen of bubbling mud pots in rainbow hues of ocher, pea green and blue gray; of steaming fumaroles puffing from deep crevasses; and of more than 200 geysers, some of which spout boiling water over 30 meters into the air. Similarly dramatic was the nearby Uzon Caldera, a 15-sq-km geothermal field where we bathed in a warm, sulfurous-smelling pond. As we coated ourselves with the mud, thinking "spa," our cook, Elena...
