...until now, Bose's Quiet Comfort 2 headphones have reigned in the land of noise cancellation. They're still king, but they're locked in an ivory tower, at the rarely discounted price of $300. Sony's MDR-NC50s do the job, and can be found for much much less than its $200 list price. A Froogle Search turns up pricing, from recognizable stores, as low as $125. (If you always hit the lowest bidder, no matter who it might be, you can get it cheaper still...
...constricting clothes of the day, stroll, picnic or fish. Rousseau omits no unromantic detail: railway bridges, factories, chimneys, piers. In the stormy View of Malakoff (1908), telegraph poles and cables arch over houses, trees and passersby.

...Located on the tower's first-floor platform, 57-m above the city, this year's rink is slightly larger than last year's and offers the same gorgeous views of the Champs du Mars and surrounding skyline. When you're done, make for the Altitude 95 bar?on the same floor?for mulled wine and cakes. The rink is open daily until Feb. 1, 2006, from 9:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Best of all, in the spirit of festive giving, rink admission and the loan of a pair of skates are included in the price of your Eiffel...
