...fleet of vintage cars and properties from Dubai to Timbuktu. But Khan, 68, no longer crosses the street to feed the monkeys. These days he is almost never seen outside. His house, which lies just over a grassy hillside from Islamabad's King Faisal Mosque, is modern, squat and dark, its façade concealed behind a vine-covered wall. To the casual observer, the house provides just one clue to its owner's sinister profession. At the end of his driveway sits a large jasmine bush, trimmed into an odd but unmistakable shape: that of a mushroom cloud...
...telling that to Bolds-Jackson, a teacher's aide who sees her future in football. After finishing a lecture on blocking stance ("Your head should be looking forward ... Squat!"), she stands in an empty changing area, vowing that her goal is a high school coaching job--and a championship.

...yours truly. Few members of the population realize that the Kirkland resident—affectionately known to his friends as ‘Freddie’—used to be a beast of a man who trudged across the river during his freshman year to bench and squat as much as was humanly possible.

With its third entry, Scion seems to have grown up fast. The Scion tC is a sporty coupe that looks more at home in the Toyota garage than parked beside its quirky siblings. Low-slung and squat, it lacks the xA's dimple-cheeked charm or xB's sass. Cruising around Los Angeles in a black-cherry model with optional $995 "ground effects" (attachments to make the car appear lower), I patiently waited for a thumbs-up. Five days later, not even the dude driving a flame-surfaced xB had looked...
