...tourist traps in the golf capital of Scotland. Just 14 km down the road, 30 m beneath a quaint stone farmhouse, is Scotland's Secret Bunker: the nuclear-proof headquarters for Scottish ministers, had the cold war got hot. Descend a gray metal staircase and down a 150-m, tungsten-reinforced tunnel to reach the bunker's red blastproof doors. From 1968 to 1992 these subterranean redoubts were manned by soldiers from the Royal Observer Corps; on guard today are uniformed mannequins, their lifelessness adding an apocalyptic chill to the air.

With certain service providers, the new Treo will be able to access a fast data network known as EDGE, giving it better...
Upsizing is the theme of the $400 Tungsten T5. With an enlarged screen and 256 MB of internal memory, it's a better desktop-to-go than its predecessors. Managing your files is easier too: instead of using complicated, time-consuming software to synch up documents, you can just drag them from PC to PDA and back again.--By Wilson Rothman
...their airbrushed Vargas-style pinups. Another season influence falls to teen marketers like the FARM Team, college kids who spread the word about cool products on campuses. There are creative directors who elicit emotion from the familiar combination of a favorite song and the golden autumn glow of a tungsten movie lamp. There are designers like Reed Krakoff, who trusts that his intuition will enable him to tool leather handbags and accessories in a way that will appeal to millions of consumers.
