...primarily for communicating--via the Web, e-mail and a built-in cell phone--this thin, trim handheld is a well-focused success. You won't find any multimedia extras, not even an MP3 player, but you will get an unheard-of 10 hours of talk time, a sturdy metal stylus and a crisp 320x320-pixel display. The AT&T service lets you download data at a reasonable 40 kbps. My only quibble: at $549, plus at least $30 a month for Web and e-mail access, plus the cost of a voice plan, the W is no bargain...

The skull had been welded onto a metal stand, and the impact sent a metal pole straight through the model. Luckily, the T-Rex skull has so many natural hollows that the pole simply went through the holes. The unfortunate interloper also was unharmed. Professor of Geology and of Biology Charles Marshall, who teaches Dinosaurs, received word of the accident before the shipment arrived and was relieved to see that...
There are displays crowded into every corner, with my favorite one being the obstructed-view seat from the Boston Garden. A peeling orange metal seat is placed directly behind a column; when you sit down in it, you’re staring at a quirky little note about how there were almost 2,000 such obstructed-view seats in the old hockey rink...
