...course, will never be able to hear, smell or swallow again. Years ago we would have been holding hands and embezzling from our high school’s student council. Now our writing sessions inevitably turn into slapfights, and DA always makes Peter wear that humiliating wrestling outfit. We’re fighting to keep this relationship alive, unlike all those freshman girls who promised us they would break up with their old boyfriends over Thanksgiving. Our couples therapy has been working wonders—the way Dr. Bok listens and then makes our problems seem so simple, our fights...
Thankfully, they're not genuine bad guys. Their fake uniforms and IDs are supplied by TraceSecurity, a Louisiana-based outfit co-founded by Stickley that is hired by companies to test their security systems. And it's not much of a test. In four years, Stickley and his colleagues have never failed to crack those systems, mostly because people are too trusting, too unaware or simply too lazy to take the necessary steps that would deter thieves...
...your chest should be kept, much like the Lost Dutchman’s Mine, shrouded in mystery. However, subtle cleavage can sometimes work to an outfit’s advantage. It’s like wearing a particularly sweet belt: not necessary for the survival of an outfit, but an interesting and notable addition. Harvard women are not, in general, daylight exhibitionists, so I doubt that fashion’s current tendency to downplay boobage will affect their classroom wardrobe all that much.

The new militants are more ruthless and, while their youthful ranks overlap with P.U.L.O. and B.R.N., they refuse to publicly align themselves with any insurgent outfit. Their leaders are unknown. In the local Malay dialect, the new militants are simply referred to as juwae, or "fighters"?that is, when anyone dares refer to them at all. Most worryingly, the juwae are apparently not interested in talking peace, despite Bangkok's post-Thaksin eagerness to do so. Surayud...
...Janus was a leading distributor of foreign films--such instant classics as Ingmar Bergman's Wild Strawberries, with Bibi Andersson (above), and François Truffaut's Jules and Jim. Janus later spawned the Criterion Collection, the ultra-classy DVD outfit. Now the child is paying tribute to the parent company, with a 13-lb. 12-oz., foot-wide box containing 50 discs of wonderful films once handled by Janus, plus a 240-page, lavishly illustrated book. With important works by Jean Renoir, Sergei Eisenstein and Michelangelo Antonioni, this package really is essential--the perfect starter set for a full film...
