...plates to make new bills from, haggle over the price - capitalism at its lowest and the state at its bravest, head to head. Mann choreographs this Apache dance with brisk efficiency. Even the violence is subtle. The key figure is The Schemer (Wallace Ford), who is locked in a steam bath and scalded to death. He goes down with a kind of pathetic majesty, like a corrupt Roman Senator who got in Caligula...
...bathing in the 1800s. Today, the city's fame principally rests on its exquisite Georgian architecture, which has been stylishly incorporated into the new spa alongside modern additions by architect Sir Nicholas Grimshaw. Highlights include an open-air rooftop pool overlooking the town center and glass steam rooms. Taking in these elegant surroundings, it's hard to believe that the project was plagued by problems since construction began in 2000 (a long-running feud between city authorities and contractors saw costs double to around $64 million and completion was delayed by three years) - but thankfully, the dust has now settled...

...carbon-heavy source of fuel, unwelcome in a world concerned with global warming and the potential environmental crises it could unleash. But that dilemma may be solved by new technologies that could reduce CO2 emissions from coal to nearly zero. Coal-fired power stations using "supercritical" boilers produce hotter steam to run the turbines: 600?C compared to around 540?C in an older plant. Supercritical plants make more efficient use of the energy created by coal's combustion, so less carbon is emitted - around 25% less than the average coal plant. If biomass - an amalgamation of wood, crops, grasses...
Simple H20 was the star of the show, popping up purified, fortified and flavored. San Faustino boasts a high calcium content. O Water undergoes reverse osmosis to filter out impurities and is then distilled into steam, while Hint, left, comes in flavors like pear, peppermint and a fabulous pomegranate-tangerine. And so as not to sully your drink with ice from tap water, Ice Rocks, disposable ice-cube trays filled with pure spring water, now available only at specialty shops, will be more widely distributed...
