...recommendations. “In all our efforts we are trying to give people the breadth of information they are looking for, to continue to tell you about the food and the services and the people,” she says. So there’s no need to wonder whether the main course is acorn or butternut squash next time; the answer is just a few clicks away...
...great home-run race. Senator Edward Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts, praised McGwire and Sosa as the "home-run kings for working families in America." McGwire, with forearms the size of a grown man's neck, 17 inches around, was a gate attraction unto himself, a modern wonder of the world. Ballparks opened their gates early and called in concession staffs to clock in early just to accommodate the thousands of fans who wanted to see him take batting practice.

Soon after, health authorities in France demanded increased safety measures. So the company, based in Cupertino, Calif., revised its software to set the maximum volume...
...Everything happens in slow motion; the events taking place within the dim interior of Ciara and Enrique’s fictive home seem as though they were transpiring underwater. Objects don’t fall, they float through the air and shatter delicately against the floor. You begin to wonder what the creators were trying to do—are we supposed to take this seriously? In any event, violence has surprisingly little impact when everything seems drowned in silver lighting and dance beats. Such glamorization of violence can be dangerous; don’t let Chris Brown see this...
