...General Motors touts the CTS as a BMW fighter, and for once, they may be able to sustain the claim. Its 3.2 liter V6 engine is tied to one of the smoothest, tightest automatic 5 speed transmissions around (secret: it's the same transmission offered on the Bimmer 5-series) and the suspension is tuned like a cherished Stradivarius. This baby hums. Best of all: the CTS starts at a mere $29,990 - nicely competitive with its top competitors, the Lexus ES300, the Audi A4 and the BMW 3-series. And the only reason a cop would saunter over...
Limits placed on the movement of Muslim women, the jobs they can hold and their interactions with men are also rooted in fears of unchaste behavior. The Taliban took these controls to an extreme, but the Saudis are also harsh, imposing on women some of the tightest restrictions on personal and civil freedoms anywhere in the world. Saudi women are not allowed to drive. They are effectively forbidden education in fields such as engineering and law. They can teach and provide medical care to other women but are denied almost all other government jobs. Thousands have entered private business...
...FIRST CLASS Travel checklist: passport, tickets--and support stockings? Researchers report that "compression stockings," elastic socks or hose that fit tightest around the ankles, can dramatically decrease the risk of developing dangerous blood clots on long air flights (the so-called coach-class syndrome).

...Elisabeth hitching a ride on Rodger's frayed flannel coattails. Sure, Keith and Tina can brave the midnight rapids to retrieve the rice canister that was washed away in the storm (even if Keith - doh! - had the matches in his pocket the whole time). And they're clearly the tightest mini-alliance, having bonded over being stuck in the cultural no-man's-land between young-and-beautiful and old-and-cuddly. (Besides, I suspect Elisabeth and Rodger of quietly plotting against each other.) But do we really want to see those two square off for the million...
