Just in time for the holidays comes a fashion trend that can double as gift wrap: satin ribbons. Ultrafeminine sashes, already considered hip by 4-year-old girls, are becoming must-haves for women 10 times that age. Tom Ford for Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche, Dolce & Gabbana and Prada are among the fashion powers touting the look in recent collections, tying ribbons onto blouses, dresses and shoes. Popular downmarket retailer Hennes & Mauritz (H&M) and other mainstream mall outlets have also appropriated the ribbon theme for everything from belts to tank tops. Whether tying them in bows or leaving...
...ways to give yourself cardiac arrest are as numerous as one would hope for from such a lengthy menu. There is a sampling of almost any cuisine you would care for, and several that you wouldn’t. Thai lettuce wraps ($9.95) jostle for room on the appetizer pages with taquitos ($6.95) while bruschetta ($6.95) vies with burgers ($5.95) (yes, there are burgers on the appetizer menu) for the customer’s attention.

...burrito comes quickly and disappears deliciously. But 25 ounces, at least for me, does not a meal make. Overall, I find the burrito excellent: The chicken is juicy and the beans satisfying—I will never go to The Wrap for a burrito again, though they still have me hooked on their Buffalo Chicken Wrap. My taste buds are satisfied, but my stomach is not. Granted, I am a big eater, but I did not expect to have to order two meals. Now the 40-ounce burrito, which I passed on earlier, does not look so daunting. I discuss...
...handwriting analysis, envelope technology and the schedule of U.S. mail pickups in and around Princeton, N.J. He can tell you all about cross-contamination, the common misspellings of penicillin and the "pharmaceutical fold" used by chemists for centuries to dispense medicines--and by person or persons unknown to wrap scrawled terror messages around a few billion spores of surprisingly pure anthrax...
