...model as visually dashing. Designed by Ian Callum, a Scotsman who created the gorgeous Aston Martin DB7, the XKR's flowing roofline tapers off to a rear end that's neither fussy nor overwrought. A few performance elements and design cues punctuate the body: air intakes on the hood, side vents and an R badge on the rear, emblazoned like Superman's S. But the car's elegance speaks for itself. As I pulled out of a parking space in Manhattan, a man in a wheelchair nodded in approval and remarked, "Go ahead, hit me." He was only half-joking...
...Vista is secure, or at least it's securer. If that's a word. Being a near-monopoly makes Windows a magnet for phishers, viruses, adware and other malware writers.

And if you must believe in fairy tales, try Little Red Riding Hood. That's the one in which the little girl is devoured by the wolf she failed to recognize before it was too late...
...there much anxiety evident amid the Faraya set. As they head back down from the hills to the coast, many families will have a strange new white hood ornament on their cars. Snowmen are a winter status symbol that tell everyone in your home village that you've been up in the mountains for the weekend. The fact that the snowmen often block windshield visibility doesn't seem to bother anyone. Indeed, a certain joie de vivre in the face of danger is as Lebanese as the cedar tree. As my Lebanese skiing buddy, Alex, said when an errant snowboarder...
