...months. Liman had already passed on it once. It's the story of a seemingly conventional suburban couple facing two very big problems. One, their marriage is arid and joyless. And two, they both, each unbeknownst to the other, are topflight assassins at rival agencies. When professional circumstances pit the Smiths against each other, a hilarious fire fight between two trained killers ensues ("I missed you, honey" becomes a double entendre), which somehow, mysteriously, becomes a portrait of a marriage rediscovering its lost flame. It's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? with concussion grenades...
Xbox headquarters is a surprisingly unimpressive place, a generic office park in Redmond, Wash., across the road from a large gravel pit. Microsoft's inspiring name for this low-rent nerd farm is the Millennium campus, and it's where the company's money-losing projects live. Not for them the manicured lawns and sculpted berms and softball fields and fancy cafeterias of Microsoft's main campus. They get the gravel pit...

But Wynn Las Vegas, which opened last week, exudes an anti-Vegas, almost Buddhist quietude. There's no theme...
...Fashionably Late,” Dec. 16, 2003). Mather answered this call with unsurpassed spirit and numbers at the freshman housing lottery day and events such as the now infamous Mather Lather. This is no small task. In only 48 hours, a dozen Matherites managed to construct a wooden pit large enough to accommodate 600 people, complete with a twenty foot-high Plexiglass-encased DJ booth, the top of which supported two foam machines on oscillating arms dispensing a Cascade® of 250,000 cubic feet of foam. By the next day, the entire apparatus was gone thanks...
