...everybody has such a rosy take on the new interest in injectable wrinkle busters. Since the effects last only a few months, says Dr. Clark Taylor of Missoula, Mont., president of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, fillers can quickly become a recurring expense. The procedures, he points out, can cost $700 to $900 for something that lasts just half a year. A face-lift, by contrast, costs between $4,000 and $6,000 but generally lasts 10 to 15 years before requiring touch-ups. Taylor is concerned that women will become addicted to their biannual collagen fix. "What doesn...
...familiar meter, Nash would keep a line going longer than a Bishop Sheen speech or a Jerry Colonna note, while winding toward some tortured rhyme and keeping readers guessing whether he'd finish up in Yonkers, or call certain people schwankers, or summon up mountain climbers known as Mont-Blanckers, and just when you'd exhausted yourself guessing how low Nash would stoop for a rhyme, you'd learn at the end of the line that he never stoops, he conquers. An editor's note in the recent collection "Fierce Pajamas: An Anthology of Humor Writing from The New Yorker...
Betty and Corky Christman have been riding and crewing at an annual balloon festival in their hometown of Billings, Mont., for the past decade. Betty, 60, a retired office administrator, enjoys the fun of crewing with anywhere from three to 10 others. She and Corky, 62, a real estate broker, have made several good friends over the years through their 6:30 a.m. ballooning adventures. Most of all, there's that special feeling of being airborne. "When I'm up in a balloon, it feels like I have wings and everything is easy, calm and good," Betty says. "Ballooning...
While French journalist François Thomazeau estimates that "80% of the French public respects and loves Lance," it was the other 20% that made its presence felt on the grueling climb to Mont Ventoux in Provence on July 21. Armstrong, who is randomly tested for drugs throughout the year and has always been clean, has nevertheless faced suspicion that given his domination of a drug-tainted sport, he must be illegally boosting his performance. And so he was heckled with cries of "Dopé!" as he chased France's Richard Virenque, a rider who confessed to using performance...
...help of reporter Deirdre van Dyk, I went on a 700-mile road trip along the trail, taking my 8-year-old son Harry with me to act as a one-kid focus group on its educational prospects. He was mesmerized by a musket demonstration in Great Falls, Mont., and the sight of a stuffed grizzly bear in nearly every public building, though he did question the need to drive 200 miles to see if Sacagawea's landmark of Beaverhead Rock really looks like one. (From the right angle, yes.) We hope you'll be inspired to see for yourself...
