Several years later, when the three labs, the University of Arizona among them, produced their wet-blanket dates for the Turin shroud, a possibility flashed through Garza-Valdes' mind. What if the shroud too had a "bioplastic" varnish--and the labs had been fooled into decreeing an object younger than it actually was? In May 1993 Garza-Valdes traveled to Turin, microscope in hand, and was put in touch with Giovanni Riggi, the microanalyst who had parceled out the 1988 samples. Riggi let Garza-Valdes examine a tiny piece of shroud that he assured him came from the same batch...
...tries to be a clever camp thriller, Matt Dillon, Kevin Bacon, Neve Campbell and newcomer Denise Richards star as the dynamic "wild things" that turn a South Florida affluent suburb into a hotbed of corruption and controversy. The movie is just one big ode to cleavage, bikini carwashes, bisexuals, wet T-shirts and sweaty threesomes.

...steamed in a classic, light, garlic-white wine sauce. The empty bowl offered for shells was nowhere near the capacity needed to account for the volume of sucked-dry detritus that remained after the mussels were finished. Empty mussel shells were scattered around the table like fallout, creating unsightly wet patches in the crisp white paper tablecloth. Snoot is hard-sought at Alloro, however--the waiter seemed thrilled at our animalistic enjoyment of the food. A third appetizer seemed impossible to pass up. The only glaringly untraditional dish on the menu, the grilled shrimp on fennel salad is the last...
Apart from the television, clock radio, pants presser, wet bar, complimentary bottled water and chocolate truffles, no two bedrooms are the same. Some are hung with botanical prints from the Museum of Natural History, others with watercolor paintings...
