...this stag universe, Diesel is the alpha and the omega male. One scene has him dangling a suspect from the high window of a tenement, then letting him go. Diesel fans know that if you let him into your apartment, you'd better clear the knickknacks off your freestanding shelving, because he's bound to throw somebody into it. Anybody else does this, you'd say he has anger issues - or, considering his character's surname, Toretto's syndrome. But Diesel doesn't get mad; he stays cooler than cool. The guy's an icebox...
...Chicago apartment was a paragon of high culture. Nudity aside, Hef conceived of Playboy as an aspirational publication - one which rightly framed sex as an all-American pursuit and sexual conquest as a badge of honor. The first issue of the magazine - which would have been called Stag Party but for threats of copyright infringement - sold about 54,000 copies, cementing the allure of Hef's smoking-jacket sensibility.

It is time to do battle with...
...understand the long-term thinking and the staying power of SIA, it's worth thinking back to those wines that were chosen late last year, including a 1999 Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, a Bordeaux that retails for upwards of $130, and a 1998 Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Fay Vineyard Cabernet, an $85 Californian. Neither of them will be served on SIA's new U.S. flights this year. Instead, they will be cellared until 2005 or 2006, when they will have developed the right character for drinking. --With reporting by Douglas Wong/Singapore
