...maybe that the A-list gathering would be a de facto Hillary fund-raiser -? and that its main purpose would be to thumb its New York liberal media nose at Hillary?s likeliest Republican opponent. Miramax?s people says Hillary isn?t the cover girl yet; Giuliani?s say there were plenty of other reasons to deep-six the soiree. If Tina Brown and Hillary and their fancy friends want to have any fun in New York this summer, they can go to the Hamptons just like everybody else...
...floppy-eared robo-dog for a test drive. To the lucky prospective owners, I can report: AIBO is worth the wait. Five years in the making, this pup is a technophile's dream toy. He has a chip in each detachable limb. He has a camera in his nose. He chases after balls, as long as they're hot pink. He walks on all fours--a major cybernetic achievement, I'm told.

...garnishes of high-flavor foods like bacon or ham bits, sun-dried tomatoes or orange slices. Think about what you're eating--people can often fill in the lost sensory information from memory. Chew thoroughly to enable more molecules to react with receptor sites in the mouth and nose. Switch from food to food, taking a bite of one, then another, to avoid becoming adapted, or inured, to a flavor...
