...English from other clients. The languages will come in handy, she says, when she opens her border beauty parlor. She is giving herself 10 years to save enough money from her other talent: picking up paying men. But competition is rough. The Moonlight's chain-smoking madame, Zhou Min, says she has 200 girls on her books. And by midnight on a recent evening, the club has drawn only a few customers. They aren't spending kings' ransoms: Zhang charges $40 for an hour in a nearby hotel. "Hong Kong men come to Shenzhen to find girls because they...
...duties as morning manager for Reebok's Sports Club/LA, works out five times a week with his younger buddy John McManus, 75. Richardson "just" maintains his physique ("My bones and joints are 85, so I try to use common sense," he says) with 20 min. of swimming, some weight training, stretching and 200 ab crunches. McManus, who was back in the gym 15 days after a recent bypass operation, rides the bike at the highest resistance for 45 min., then bench-presses...
They grabbed for parachutes and began strapping them on as Osborn and his flight crew bellowed "Mayday!" into their mikes. It took about 5 min.--and up to 8,000 ft. of altitude--before Osborn could regain control. As the plane's unbalanced engines and sheared nose combined to shake the EP-3E violently, Osborn decided his best choice was to make for Lingshui, the closest airfield and one the F-8s had left only minutes before. Once the crew realized it was going to land in China, it began carrying out its "classified destruction plan," which parcels...
Accompanied by the surviving F-8, Osborn's plane flew toward the Chinese airstrip, staying over water as long as possible to avoid upsetting his surprised hosts. About 20 min. after the midair collision, the EP-3E made a hair-raising landing, unable to slow down because its braking wing flaps had been wrecked in the accident. A dislodged antenna had wrapped itself around the EP-3E's tail, further complicating the landing. Chinese troops quickly surrounded the prized plane, wielding weapons and demanding over bullhorns that the Americans abandon the craft. After a tense 15-min. standoff--during which...
Second-career teachers in Massachusetts got classroom training during summer school, but there they taught just nine or 10 children in leisurely two-hour blocks. As rookie teachers, they had to teach 100 or more students each week in 50-min. periods. What's more, in exchange for their rapid certification and bonuses, the so-called boot-camp teachers agreed to work in schools with more low-performing students and discipline problems, where experience in classroom management is as important as knowing your subject. Similarly, in New York City a court ruling requires the city to assign a newly certified...
