...hotel that makes my list, the Hôtel Esprit Saint Germain--discreet and quiet, and a quick sprint from some of the city's favorite haunts. A tiny, cute, retrofitted dairy, Cremerie Caves Miard (9, Rue des Quatre-Vents), provides a lunch or dinner antidote for jet lag. The young chef-owner serves seasonal, simple country food and fascinating wines...
...synthesizer figures prominently in the score of the film A Clockwork Orange. In a March 7, 1969, story, we described the workings of the Moog: "The electronic synthesizer that bears [Moog's] name?a 4-ft.[1.25-m]-long contraption that looks like the control panel of a jet airliner with an organ keyboard grafted onto it?is by far the most effective device yet developed to produce electronic sounds.

...tell the celebrations apart at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (J.P.L.) in Pasadena, Calif. They back-slapped and high-fived when the Pathfinder lander bounced down on Mars in 1997 and when the Spirit and Opportunity rovers followed in 2004.

If it's possible to grow tired of popping corks and raising glasses, the J.P.L. engineers may be getting close...
...time Washington started recognizing that everyone benefits from aviation. Though military, business and private aircraft all use the infrastructure, U.S. commercial carriers primarily carry the costs.

It's unfair that airline security costs (to protect our citizens from attack from the air) are paid for predominantly by passenger ticket taxes. Since everyone benefits, why not use some of the revenue collected from everyone on April...
...different can best friends' love lives be? Shortly after Ben Affleck married his high-profile, pregnant girlfriend Jennifer Garner, MATT DAMON, 34, proposed to his very low-profile, already-a-mom amore. She's Argentine-born LUCIANA BARROSO, 29, onetime Miami bartender and now full-time companion to the jet-setting actor. The pair have been dating for about two years but haven't announced a wedding date, which all the paparazzi think is very inconsiderate...
