...interest in all things paint by number resurfaced a few years ago, and the fad seems to be gaining steam. Vintage finished pictures are now being avidly collected, and new sets are being made.

Bird Jr. Designer Todd Oldham, who has been collecting the canvases for 20 years, recently taught the Today-show audience how to make Valentine's Day presents with paint-by-number kits.

The food tunnels, comprising only a small percentage of the total, link a central kitchen on JFK Street with smaller “finishing kitchens” in most of the River houses. They are about 15 feet wide and are constantly traversed by battery-powered carts equipped with heated and cooled food containers...
Health may not be a pursuit limited to princesses, but abandoning the long lines at the Malkin Athletic Center (MAC) for a personal trainer and a whirlpool is. The closest and most expensive option is Wellbridge, which has a steam room, cable TV and swimming pool. Angela E. Kim ’03 swears by kickboxing on Saturdays with Katy, as well as the Performance in Training class. “It’s like boot camp, and it makes me want to vomit when I’m done,” she reports happily.
