...every time I argue for Yale-style housing, or for rescinding randomization, I get shot down. So I’m going to try a new approach. Rather than moaning about some other system, like a pooch howling at the moon, we’re going to diagnose the problems with our own system, systematically...
...Curse of the Were-Rabbit, about the attempts of a daffy English inventor and his stoic, smarter dog to rid their home village of a vegetable-ravaging monster. Wallace, the man, scoops up rabbits by the hundreds in his mighty Bun-Vac 6000 ("It blows and sucks"). Gromit, the pooch, gets involved in some World War I--style aerial combat with another canine--a real dogfight. At film's end, the heroine, Lady Tottington, and the dread Were-Rabbit have a housetop confrontation worthy of (i.e., stolen from) King Kong. The whole rollicking adventure zips along a mile a minute...

Her hope is that, with Petlane, everyone else will...
...enough of muddy paw prints on the couch or a mooching pooch prowling under the dining table? Here's a new, high-tech solution from Innotek, based in Garrett, Ind.: pet-proofing Zones, discs the size of smoke detectors that can keep pets out of rooms or away from areas 12 ft. in diameter. Available at innotek.net ($100 for a starter kit), Zones can easily be installed in a doorway or under your favorite lounge chair. As with outdoor invisible fences, dogs wear collars that react when the pets get too close to a Zone. Innotek says the signal...
