...treatment is basically the same for anyone who walks through the door, but individual skin type determines which of Klinger's more than 300 cleansing creams, lubricants and masks will be used. While the customer lies back, her legs covered with a blue and white paisley quilt, a cosmetologist goes to work, cleaning the skin with unscented makeup remover and lotion. Then a lubricant is applied with a small hot iron, which is a doll-sized version of the kitchen iron, to soften the pores. This "face ironing" is followed by a herbal or seaweed steam facial, manual...
...contestant." There is strained laughter. Brooke, a man famous for his sexual magnetism among other things, looks old--the last few months, the day-to-day campaign trail routine, haven't helped his appearance.

...Paisley fell far short of his vow to bring Belfast's economy to its knees. Earlier in the week he had told his followers, "I am only remaining in politics to see this thing through. If it fails, then my voice will no longer be heard." He may be right about that. For once, Northern Irelanders seemed to have demonstrated, even to themselves, that militant sectarian zealots can be defied. An aide to Roy Mason predicted that the strike's failure "could be a watershed" in the province's bloody history...
