...cheeks when you take that first step outside in the morning. Or maybe it's in the way the afternoon breeze gently plucks yellowed leaves from the trees in the Yard. I guess it could be in the sound of a marching band on a Saturday afternoon, or the smell of a wood fire on a chilly Cambridge evening...
...helper claps goggles onto my eyes. I tense. A searing sensation rips into my face. As the laser traces tiny spider veins across my cheek, zapping them into oblivion, I hear a faint pop, pop, pop. It begins to sting. Yeow, I swear silently. Is that burning flesh I smell? Hey, Doc? Owww. Yeowww! DOC! Dr. Harold Lancer, my Beverly Hills dermatologist, is laughing. He had warned me to take some Valium before the procedure (or risk scaring off his celebrity clients, no doubt). I can't stand any more. "Ye-ooowww!!" I yell out loud. Then it's over...
...smell of political red meat. Except when you ask the Republicans what they would do differently, the answer is: not much. They offer no fresh ideas, just stricter oversight of loans, more criticism of bad behavior, greater caution toward leaders.

New Jersey is facing similar problems ? 1 million residents were told to boil their water this weekend after flooding overwhelmed a treatment plant ? but the problems of an agricultural state are special. At least 110,000 hogs and a million...
...pungent aroma in a Los Angeles salon called Puncture is reminiscent of burnt popcorn. "That is a hell of a smell!" yelps Daren Gardner, 28, whose lanky body lies quivering on a medical-examination table. The odor is actually coming from Gardner's skin, as he submits to the latest trend catching on among tattoo and piercing devotees: branding. Body artist Todd Murray torches a small square of stainless steel using a propane flame, then lines up his shot like a pool shark with a cue, swiftly applying the red-hot metal in what's called a "kiss of fire...
