...opened her 6pm show on a mirrored runway, the appearance of a tight, high-waisted weight-lifting kind of belt was no surprise. A few hours later Rosella Tarabini, the jolly designer of the Anna Molinari label, coincidentally included a few of the men?s style belts in her micro-mini jersey looks. By Thursday morning there was an all out run on belts from the Via Montenapoleone as every fashion stylist began wrapping and cinching their look...
...more useful place to start assigning blame might be the designers. (You thought I was going to blame the magazines?) Designers, let's face it, design for the thin. The skinny pants, low-cut jeans, micro-minis and bubble skirts that are coming our way this fall all look fabulous if you're built like a darning needle, but they're just not going to work on us pincushions. Is there really no middle ground between micro-shorts and muumuus? We can build a camera that makes you look slimmer in photographs, but we can't design a flattering outfit...

And new micro-dosing techniques, in which a capful of fertilizer is applied to the roots of a plant, minimize the flow of chemicals into rivers and streams...
...taken physics before you will have significant catch-up work to do. The course goes quite in-depth at seemingly random times, and the weekly problem set will keep you up to speed but could cramp your style. Science A-50, “Invisible Worlds: Micro- and Nanothings, Science, Technology, and Public Policy,” covers a broad smattering of small things—from microwaves to atomic particles to stem cells. You’ll talk about the Alice-in-Wonderland-esque counter-intuitive nature of these super-small things (groovy!) and get to know the world...
...creating a master list which can be organized by “lifestyle type,” political habits, and likelihood to vote. This master list predicted with 80 to 90 percent accuracy whether a person was likely to vote Republican and helped the Bush team “micro-target” their campaigning where it would be most effective. Whether you’re an “Anti-Porn Woman” or a “Traditional Marriage Democrat” or an “Archie in the Bunker,” George W. Bush...
