...luggage scanner, at $800,000-plus, is L-3's hottest item. It uses C.T.-scan technology, similar to that used in medicine, to compare the density of luggage contents with those of various kinds of explosives. L-3 has installed the scanner at more than 100 U.S. airports and in Austria, Ireland, Italy and Sweden. The company has contracts to supply at least 450 of the estimated 2,000 machines needed to equip U.S. commercial airports...
...respects, the brilliant strategies that preserved luxury brands a decade ago have now rendered them somewhat inert at retail. "All the same streets have the same stores with the same window dressing," complained designer Paul Smith at an industry gathering late last year. That's why one of the hottest stores, Colette, in Paris, is a reseller, not a brand-name designer boutique. Colette is a store as editor, picking the hottest stuff from the hottest new designers and presenting it in a techno-style space.

Reiner, who had been Gore's most loyal backer in Hollywood, is the hottest ticket in politics these days--someone not only capable of writing big checks, but willing to ask his friends to do it as well. Last week the Hollywood shuffle repeated itself. Minority leader Tom Daschle had barely taken his toe out of the presidential water before it dawned on everyone...
...Raiders since last January in New England, when the nation learned what a tuck play was, and Adam Vinatieri booted one of the most improbable kicks in NFL history. Having garnered the AFC's No. 1 seed, the Silver & Black's reward is a date with perhaps the NFL hottest team, the Jets, winners of eight of their last 10, including last week's destruction of the Colts. Oakland, however, handed New York one of those losses, 26-20, on a Monday night in early December, and it has record-setting MVP Rich Gannon tossing strikes to the ageless...
