Indeed, several new wines aimed at women border on the insulting. Seduction, a $28 bottle by the Napa Valley's O'Brien Family Vineyard, comes wrapped in a little gauzy sheath as if it were out of Victoria's Secret, with label copy that reads as if it were from a romance novel: "voluptuous, with sensual flavours and a velvet kiss." Says Ewing-Mulligan: "Seduction is so outrageous that it's almost acceptable," and it helps that the Wine Spectator gave the Bordeaux-style blend a respectable 89 rating. But there is White Lie Early Season Chardonnay--a de-alcoholized...
...cultural icons are waging a courtroom battle over a fruit. Apple Corps, the Beatles' record label, wants Apple Computer to remove its bitten-apple logo from its iTunes music store. A lawyer for Apple Corps, which is co-owned by Paul McCartney, RINGO STARR, George Harrison's estate and Yoko Ono, downloaded a Coldplay song from iTunes to show a London judge how Apple Computer uses its logo to sell music, in violation, the lawyer said, of a 1991 agreement that it would stay out of the music business.

...programmable thermostat. It will save you about 1,800 lbs. of CO2 annually. Invest in energy-efficient appliances. (Ones with the EPA?s EnergyStar label are a good bet.)

Against this backdrop, Villepin has managed to drive onto the streets not just youth who are locked out of the labor market, but also civil-servant trade unions, which habitually block reform on the pretext of resistance against what they sloppily label "ultraliberalism." Such unholy alliances have characterized France's numerous civil wars. In 1358, the jacqueries (peasant uprisings), which gave birth to the modern state, united peasants against the nobility. The nobility, in turn, revolted to protect their privileges against the growing power of the state and the Parisian bourgeoisie...
...Business-jet provider Privatair began operating private-label flights for Lufthansa, Swiss and KLM four years ago, but the first full-fledged airline, Eos, took off last fall from New York City's J.F.K. to London's Stansted. Its customized Boeing 757s have just 48 "suites," including lie-flat bed seats. Eos partners with London-based concierge firm Quintessentially to offer services to passengers from boarding until 24 hours after returning home, and its frequent-flyer points have a fixed cash value. Eos will even book customers on other airlines, paying for tickets with points from their accounts?a first...
