...more than $700 million a year from U.S. tourists, expects to lose as much as a quarter of that business. West Germany could lose up to 40% of its U.S. tourism revenue. Because many Americans schedule several stops on their vacations, even safer countries can suffer when travel to hotter spots is canceled. Britain will thus lose business too, but hopes to make a comeback with the July wedding of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson...
...stakes are admittedly high. "Skin care is becoming hotter and hotter in the U.S.," says John Ledes, editor of the industry newsletter Cosmetic World. Consumers handed over $1.2 billion last year for various pricy cleansers, scrubs, gels, emulsions, foams and masks that promise to give the skin a healthy, rosy glow.

The "cool lustrous brain" of Judith Carriol manifests itself dimly: "The less people involved, the better," or, "If there is any reason in the world why you are where you are and who you are on this day, the reason...
...impassioned strains of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring. An adorable clutch of baby tricerotopses hatches from eggs; sloe-eyed brontosauruses wade in marshes; a bony-backed stegosaurus struggles for its life against the meat-eating Tyrannosaurus rex. But as the years flash by, the world mysteriously grows hotter and more violent: swamps evaporate, earthquakes trigger giant tidal waves, and the princely reptiles crawl across an encroaching desert to meet their certain doom...
