...make-out lines of numbing inanity ("Wanna see my teeth?"). Girls press intimacy on reluctant beaus (She: "I'm trying to be open to you." He: "Why?"). But neither sex has a monopoly on maturity. Having rented a seedy motel room, a couple gets into bed and ... has a pillow fight. Our culture may force adulthood on teens, but sometimes they still have to be kids...
Miss Peggy Lee, they always called her. If the honorific was meant to elevate a plain stage name (she was born Norma Deloris Egstrom), the effort was redundant; for Lee, vocally and visually, was class and sass in one platinum package. Statue-still onstage, whispering her lyrics like postcoital pillow talk, Lee gave a guilty-secret glow to the blandest ballads. By the mid-'40s she was a pop star and a rare singer-songwriter (It's a Good Day, Manana); in 1955 she composed songs for Disney's Lady and the Tramp and 36 years later won a suit...
...them got too serious. It was one thing for The Eagle in London's hip Clerkenwell district to modernize bangers and mash with an uncompromising concern for good ingredients served in daunting sizes, but things have gotten out of hand when your local boozer starts offering "a flaky pastry pillow filled with cod, hoki [sic] and salmon."

"Whoever our nominee is in 2004, if it's not me, I would advise to take a page from President Bush...
...love-hate affair with your blankets? Do you throw them off at 2 a.m. because you're too hot and then desperately cocoon at 6 a.m. to warm up? Perhaps you need Outlast's new Adaptive Comfort bedding. It introduces climate control where it counts--under the covers. The pillow, mattress pad and duvet cover look quite conventional--boring even, as they come only in white. But each is sewn with a layer of tiny capsules, called thermacules, that absorb, store and release heat as needed to regulate temperature. A version of this "phase change" material, originally developed for NASA...
