...hello to the latest invention from Dunkin' Donuts, masters of over-indulgence: The Box o' Joe. It's a giant, spill-proof box of javao10 cups worth. The coffee sits in a plastic bladder that fits into a cardboard box. The coffee exits the "Box of Joe" through the plastic spout on the outside of the easy-to-carry container. Invented primarily to ease the burden of office coffee-runs, the Box o' Joe is also ideal for Harvard caffeine junkies like...
Alaska's oil fields at Prudhoe Bay lie beneath an area of awesome beauty, still pristine and fragile. But around 750 miles to the south lies Prince William Sound, the site of one of the world's worst oil-spill disasters a decade ago when the tanker Exxon Valdez ran aground and dumped 11 million gallons of syrupy crude, creating a 500-mi.-long oil slick.

Yet you are never aware that your mental experience has been assembled, bit by bit, like some invisible edifice inside your brain...
...part of BTM's appeal is that the artists--from scandalized lip-synchers Milli Vanilli (whose story kicked off the series in August 1997) to Heart to Shania Twain--talk candidly about, well, pretty much everything. Mothers and fathers and siblings and lovers spill too. Because artists often own the rights to their songs--and BTM relies on them for permission to use that music--VH1 won't do the show without their cooperation...
