...company of someone whom you find remotely attractive. Worst case scenario--the person with whom you're dining or having coffee passes out from actually being seen in public having a meal and interacting with another human being. Splat! Your date slumps, face-first into soup or another hot liquid, nearly drowns, scalds his or her face and requires paramedics. You've got a story to tell for the rest of your life. Your kids will beg to hear about the time you got to ride in the ambulance in college...
Shahab-3's first flight test wasn't that impressive. The missile blew up after a flying time of 1 min. 40 sec. The CIA doesn't yet know if the explosion was an accident or if the Iranians intentionally detonated the missile after its liquid-fuel rocket finished burning. In either case, Shahab-3 is not much of a threat at present. It is based on a design supplied by North Korea, whose missiles are notoriously inaccurate, and Iran may need an additional two years before it can deploy a rocket reliable enough for military operations.

Another sweet surprise can be found in "Raspberry Swirl," which features a bouncy rhythm and such energy that one would swear Amos and the entire band were doing aerobics while writing it.

...contrast to about $1 million for a conventional one. The projection system uses the largest commercial film format available--15-perforation 70 mm--10 times as large as conventional 35 mm. But IMAX and the theater owners hope to scale down costs too, for instance by replacing the $300 liquid-crystal eyeglasses used for 3-D movies with disposable polarized goggles. (The 3-D system can also show 2-D movies like Everest) IMAX films are shorter, so more customers can file in--450,000 a year, nine times the attendance at conventional movies...
...georgette crepe--not just the plainer jersey suits and "little black dresses" that made her famous. But probably the single element that most ensured Chanel's being remembered, even when it would have been easier to write her off, is not a piece of clothing but a form of liquid gold--Chanel No. 5, in its Art Deco bottle, which was launched in 1923. It was the first perfume to bear a designer's name...
