...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. It's far smarter to opt for the hotel's other new transport option: scooter taxis. These zippy little Platinum Jungle scooters will get you to your destination about 30% quicker than a regular cab, the hotel p.r. says. Sure, the 150cc motor sounds more like a electric shaver than...

About half of the students were asked to contemplate dying and being dead, and to write short essays describing what they imagined happening to them as they physically died. 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.
