...Dazzling gold, sparkling silver, sleek black and rich copper characterize the Coys brought from halfway across the world to visually entice audiences. And while Dr. Seuss knew only red and blue fish, Harvard students are privy to all these magical slippery scales. The fish range in size from one to two feet long, and although they are fed daily, they appreciate dining hall treats---not to mention the occasional suck on a meaty finger or toe. But have no fear, unlike the students at the business school, these toothless fish are not of the piranha persuasion...
...Doug Chiang. He and his crew cranked out some 3,000 drawings of planets, cities, swamps, creatures, racing pods, new mechanical versions of storm troopers (Lucas told Chiang to think of the elongated, skeletal shapes of African sculptures--and that did the trick). The Queen's ship is sleek chrome with streaks of yellow and fins inspired by an Art Deco pin. Fine, but would it fly? "Part of my phony-baloney research was to watch a lot of educational TV," says Chiang. "But this is film reality, not reality. Put my plane in a wind tunnel and it would...

Whether it was the sleek $2 billion radar-eluding B-2 Stealth bomber or the hulking, duct-taped $74 million B-52 pulverizing Serbian targets last week, the essential character of air warfare didn't change: air power, old or new, can always punish a foe but can rarely force him to change his mind. And like any kind of combat, it has mortal risks...
...slow, structured "I doubt I've worked off the calories in a stick of Carefree gum" workouts emphasizing a yoga-based spirituality, and in their place is the latest "it" exercise. Martial artist Billy Blanks created Tae-Bo, the fast-paced, super-sweaty stepchild of kickboxing. Popularized by a sleek advertising campaign heavy on late-night infomercials, and garnering the support of Carmen Electra and Sinbad, Tae-Bo now constitutes a veritable alterna-robics empire. Blanks himself is on the way to superstardom, having appeared on a recent episode of "ER" in which he schooled Lucy (Kellie Martin, Yale student...
