Dramatically spotlighted and showroom shiny, the CBI Magnum Force 4000 attracts a crowd at the Las Vegas Convention Center. CALIFORNIA ROAD LEGAL, a placard practically snarls, and men who were once machine-crazy boys gape at the 4000's sleek profile and jazzy racing-yellow paint job, and also at its 60-in. discharge conveyor, hydraulically powered swing-away anvil and bolt-on wear liner. Did somebody say "features"? This 51-ft.-long, 74,000-lb. $489,000 monster lives to "process large volumes of wood waste to a fine uniform mulch," according to a sign...
...closer look at Koofai Nuamuri, the turquoise Lake of the Virgins and the deepest of the three craters. A goat track of a path wound around its lip. Hundreds of meters down, spread like the icing on some toxic cupcake, lay the green lake, marbled with veins of sulfurous yellow. A weatherworn signpost near the summit proclaimed that the lakes were black, white and red. "That was back in the 1970s," said Dagama, my guide. "They've changed colors many times since then...
...Sunny Lawn in a Public Park (Arles) (1888) Van Gogh creates a secret garden by forgoing the use of color to suggest realistic depth.

The tiny town is a summer beach destination--Ginny met George on the boardwalk when she was just 17 and both were working menial hotel jobs--with a year-round population of slightly more than 2,000. Yet even in the off-season Avon retains a certain lazy, carefree air. Sweeping front porches serve as social hubs. Traffic grinds to a halt so that ducks can meander across...
...well underway at the House of Blue Leaves. The swank Tokyo nightclub's spacious dance floor?a sheet of glass that floats above an immaculate Zen rock garden?is strewn with the bodies of dismembered yak-uza. A willowy blonde with wild eyes, clad in a blood-smeared yellow tracksuit, brandishes her Samurai sword, preparing to dispatch three more victims. She grits her teeth. The yakuza scowl back. As sword meets flesh and the three villains slam backwards through a wooden lattice, the mastermind behind the mayhem can't suppress a smile. "Pow!" exults an elated Quentin Tarantino, bounding from...
