Until that time, the threats are everywhere. Just four weeks ago, Dhahir narrowly escaped another attempt on his life on his day off. When his driver arrived at his home, Dhahir spotted something dark and rectangular, the size of a brick, on the driver's door. It turned out to be 2 lbs. of plastic explosives wired to a 9-volt battery and stuck to the driver's door with a strong magnet. It would have detonated by remote control or when the car radio was switched on. Dhahir called in two police officers to dismantle the bomb. Why does...
...Sony PictureStation DPP-EX50 (available in March for $180) has a longer, slimmer, rectangular profile and lets you insert MemoryStick or CompactFlash cards into slots on the device. While the DPP-EX50 takes longer to print each image (about 80 seconds in TIME's tests vs. 50 seconds for the P-10), the results were just as impressive. But unlike the P-10, the DPP-EX50 gives you the option of hooking up to your TV, via the yellow Video In port, for onscreen editing of images. There's even a program for adding borders, designs and text to your...
Mistral is located in Boston’s South End, a very short walk from the more familiar confines of Back Bay. The atmosphere is pared-down and relaxed, with a large, uncluttered rectangular dining room that has nothing to distract diners from their plates.

The only...
...show in the West End is "Absolutely (Perhaps)," Martin Sherman's adaptation of the Pirandello play usually known in English as "Right You Are (If You Think You Are)." Director Franco Zeffirelli, still sparking glamorous ideas at 80, also designed the production: instead of walls, he has grids of rectangular jigsaw pieces flanked by walled mirrors. The set handsomely visualizes the play's core: a puzzle demanding reflection. On either side of the set are two rows of seats for members of the audience - our surrogates in considering the scandal that unfolds, silent (for the most part) judges...
...call art "the research-and-development wing of the culture"--took over the center in 1995. Very quickly he started pushing to build a new laboratory. What he got, at 87,000 sq. ft., is the size of many substantial museums. The Rosenthal Center may occupy a tight rectangular shape, but so does your average locomotive. This is a building that does not so much sit on its street corner as continuously arrive there. On its longer side, it forms sweeping irregular stacks of white and black concrete and darkened glass, all of them resting on a clear-glass lobby...
