...from Philips and IBM tied for second. IBM's setup program produced the best picture quality without manual tweaking, while the Philips made it easy to adjust settings. NEC's MultiSync1530V ($549) looked sharp, but its controls were a little less intuitive. And while the $499 Viewsonic was the sveltest of all (just 5 in. deep) and the only model with built-in speakers, its flimsy stand and tinny sound turned...
...cite Fenway's small size, cramped seats, meager parking, lack of luxury suites and outdated facilities to justify the proposed departure--all uncontestable claims. Fenway's comically slender seats are comfortable for only the sveltest Sox fans, and tickets are often hard to come by, especially in the summer, and especially for games against the hated Yankees.

Sir Max, one of the keenest wits and sveltest exquisites of the 1890s, came into the late Victorian world when Oscar Wilde was just a lily-loving boy and Dante Gabriel Rossetti a doddering gaffer. Now something of a gaffer himself, Sir Max celebrated his 70th birthday last fortnight with London's Maximilian Society, a club formed and named in his honor...
