...Conrad Bangkok, tel: (66-2) 690 9999, recently added a mean-looking Mercedes-Benz SLK 200 sports roadster to its fleet. But given the Thai capital's notorious traffic jams, we're left wondering just how frequently that 1.8-liter supercharged four-cylinder engine will be put to the test.

The other half of the group was asked to think and write about dental pain - decidedly unpleasant, but not quite as threatening. The researchers then set about evaluating the volunteers' emotions: First, the students were given standard psychological...
This off-season will test that claim. After all, what would be more Yankee-esque than buying the best player in baseball? During the late innings of Game 4, the agent for Alex Rodriguez, Scott Boras, leaked word that his client was opting out of the last three years of this $252 million contract. A-Rod is now a free agent, and if Yankee management keeps its promise not to pursue him, his pinstripe career is curtains. (Leave it to Boras, a man whose ego has no peer, to hijack the Sox win with A-Rod's news...
