Today's design revolution extends beyond cars. It is reverberating from Detroit to Madison Avenue, from the automobile right down the product chain to such simple items as trash cans. Design magazines are hot (Architectural Digest is about to launch a new publication called Motoring). Moreover, signature design is no longer the realm of the snobby, afford-anything rich. Ask Martha Stewart, or the prominent architects and furniture and car designers who swap industries these days just to give products that extra mark of distinction.

Things came to a head on the final night; the crowds made bonfires of accumulated trash heaps and danced around the flames--a Dionysian image for the cameras. Rioters, admittedly a small minority of the crowd of more than 200,000, attacked concession stands and threw tables and chairs onto the flames. The more ambitious attacked an ATM.

You are capable of far more than you realize and can transform the unknown you fear into the known you control and enjoy. Adventure offsites--like condoms and trash bags--can serve more than one purpose...
...EURO TRASH New to the U.S. market, high-yielding euro junk bonds are posting big returns while "safe" investments such as 10-year T bills are faltering. Why the appeal? Europe is deregulating its markets, stirring growth, competition and M&A activity similar to the U.S. in the '80s. The weakened euro is also expected to rebound against the dollar, but currency trading and high-yield bonds are risky. Don't bet the farm...
