...house purchase, ask your bank to deny you a mortgage. At dinner, don't commit the cheese-course gaffe of cutting the tips off Brie and Camembert wedges; instead try the fragrant Cantal, "like soft Cheddar, with a hint of athlete's foot." As a prose stylist, Clarke can't hold a cheese knife to legions of past Anglo-Saxon observers like Mark Twain and Janet Flanner (or even to Mayle). But Merde has a lively plot - West's French boss is up to no good - plus an element missing in many such tomes: sex. The hero's success...
...familiarize herself with machine parts. Three years ago, hoping to encourage others to follow in her footsteps, Howard launched a math-and-science mentoring program for at-risk junior high school girls. Fighting cultural pressures takes time; one talented math student told Howard she planned to be a hair stylist. Still, Howard hopes the program will help steer more young women into robotics, a field she says that within a decade will produce robots that mimic human thought processes. "This isn't about mechanics," says Howard. "It's about creating something new, something like us but different--something that...
...Norway" is usually code for "small in non-glaciated countries," but the half-Norwegian Mena has a voice that fits on American pop radio while also setting her apart from all the other teen girls with a stylist.

On one shopping trip for show-night clothes--the Idols get $450 a week for duds--stylist Miles Siggins encouraged London to "funk up" her look, saying that she sometimes mistook boring for classy. Conversely, the coaches discouraged Trias from selecting edgier music. As Trias puts it, "I had to learn to be myself...
...placing 101st on the list of the TIME 100 [April 26]. Stein suggested that the exclusion of Farmer, an infectious-disease specialist who spends most of his time at a charity hospital in Haiti, hinged on the selfless doctor's lacking "a publicist, agent, manager or even a stylist." Let me remind Stein of author Tracy Kidder's Mountains Beyond Mountains, a brilliant and poignant testimonial to Farmer's altruism as well as a chronicle of his dedication to eradicating diseases in poor countries. With Kidder as Farmer's credible biographer, I'd place the good doctor in TIME...
