...Wen’s talk, I tucked a Tibetan flag into my pantyhose, put my ticket in my pocket and headed over to the Business School. I passed easily through security and found the best seat in the house—behind the VIPs, in front of the press corps and, perhaps most importantly, directly facing the podium. I waited and listened to the introductions and the first 10 minutes of Wen’s speech. And then he said, “I understand my people, and I love my people.” And that was my moment...
...issue, Playboy has turned 50 - 15 months after the golden anniversary of Mad, eight months after TV Guide hit the half-century mark. All have fought mid-life crises so critical they could have been end-life crises. TV Guide, unable to cram 500 channels of listings into its pocket-size format, has seen its circulation (9 million) drop to less than half of its 1960s numbers.

The blend of naturalism and lyricism is established right away: all the appliances are embodied by human beings (a Supremes-style trio, for example, provides the voice of the radio). The anthropomorphic devices don't stop there. The moon appears with an evening gown--bedecked soprano inside. The news of President Kennedy's assassination is announced by a blues-singing city...
...attractions of fuel cells is that they can be big enough to run a factory or small enough to fit under the hood of a car. Medis' innovation is a type of micro--fuel cell, a power source that's small enough to slip into your pocket. The Medis Power Pack--a portable, wire-free mobile-phone recharger slated to be in shops by the end of next year--will allow users to boot up their handsets whenever and wherever the need arises...
