With a 6-ft., carbon-fiber wing strapped to his back and a supply of oxygen handy, the Austrian stuntman glided the 22 miles to Calais, France, reaching speeds of 217 m.p.h. Of his 14-min. jaunt, he remarked, "It's very cold up there...

Just make sure the kids wear a helmet, since these zippy roadsters (from $119 to $179) may tempt them to try more daring feats than ever...
...young woman's sexual and philosophical development, "were from the genre of philosophical pornography." Vive La Revolution's chatty informality doesn't detract from its rigor. Steel is not a historian, but he's done his homework. Even Revolution buffs may find surprising new facts - like the 15-min. bathside chat Charlotte Corday shared with revolutionary leader Jean-Paul Marat before murdering him - or provocative takes on old ones. The tale of how Marie Antoinette trod on her executioner's foot, then begged his pardon, has been told. But while "her defenders cite this as an example of her sturdy...
