...boat trips. The park station is a good place to start an outing. A rugged trail climbs up craggy Khao Daeng hill to a lofty lookout. It's only half a kilometer, but nearly vertical the entire way. What a view, though: glittering shrimp ponds and lush, green fields skirt conical peaks all the way to the coast. The total seems fewer than 300, but as Khao Sam Roi Yot is such a pleasant break from Bangkok, who's counting...
...Elaine Lancaster, the 6-ft. 2-in. drag queen who is the hostess of the club, says she approves of Reno's moves. "Tonight she looks great in black," she says of Reno's suit skirt.

...different Jupiter-size world circling 55 Cancri in a close-up orbit just 10 million miles from the solar fires--closer than little Mercury orbits our own sun. All told, astronomers have found about 90 big planets circling many other stars, either clinging close to their parent's skirt or whipping in and out in irregular, slingshot-like orbits--including what seems to be another planet closely orbiting 55 Cancri...
