Skip ahead if you know what that means. Painfully cute, the Furby stands 5 in. tall and has an O-shaped mouth and bulging eyes. It looks a lot like creatures from the movie Gremlins. ("I do have a sense of deja vu when I look at those things," says film director Joe Dante. Warner Bros., which made Gremlins, has voiced concern to Hasbro, the corporate parent of Furby manufacturer Tiger Electronics, about the similarity...
Another woman begins to leap like a ballerina around the room's centerpiece--a tall red paper-mache pyramid covered with candles which provide the room its only light...
Nowhere was this more evident than last week at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., where several dozen space scientists gathered to consider a new generation of so-called superpressure balloons. Floating to the very edge of the earth's atmosphere, these gossamer giants (as tall as 60-story buildings) will remain aloft up to 100 days. That's enough time to look for such elusive phenomena as planets in other solar systems, black holes and remnants of the Big Bang. Says astrophysicist Josh Grindlay, leader of a Harvard-Smithsonian group that uses balloons to map distant...

Tall, with gelled-back hair and an intelligent worker's face, Svenningsson explained, "We and Tore [the producer] sat down, and we wanted something new. We even thought about changing producers, but [Johansson] felt the same way: the Cardigans' sound was a bit dull....So we bought a big computer and made this album." If the brave new Cardigans struggled at certain points, as when the electronics...
