...gala, Jay told Mavis, "Guess who's going to be on the show tonight? You are." Her first ("and last," she adds) appearance gave the event the final push it needed. Lionel Richie opened. Lily Tomlin joked. Marlo Thomas introduced. Sidney Poitier spoke. All the Judds came. Jay's stand-up was funny but surprisingly emotional when he came to Mavis.

Washington insists it has not dropped its opposition to independence for Kosovo, but what else, if the ethnic Albanians ever return, is there?

You stand on it (no seat) and start by kicking off. The electric motor cuts in at that point, and you can cruise at 13 m.p.h. for about eight miles. Its throttle, unlike the Buzz's, is not variable, only on/off, which makes the experience more challenging and herky-jerky. In June...
