...Chrysler engine design, the car delivers 340 h.p. and 390 lb.-ft. of torque to the rear wheels, escalating the power wars for vehicles in its class. Considering its curb weight (4,018 lbs.), it handles with a surprisingly nimble feel and features classy touches inside, like chrome-trim analog gauges and tortoiseshell accents on the door, steering wheel and shifter. Is it the ultimate driving sensation? Not quite. But with a base price of $33,000, the 300C offers more car for the buck than a similarly priced BMW. The only question is whether today's DaddyOs will feel...

While heavy pancake makeup typically covers all sorts of sins on analog TV, high def calls for thinner, better-blended foundations. Too much powder can make a star look mummy-like. Ken Diaz, makeup boss for the PBS series American Family, which is filmed in HDTV, waters down his bases. "It's a wash of color, like a stain, rather than a pigment," he says. Lori Madrigal, chief makeup artist for CBS's HD hit Joan of Arcadia, concedes that...
...Curious George store and so on, right? Great. Now look up, above the ground level. What’s there? No idea, eh? Me neither. I had to go look for myself. Here’s what I found: three American flags flying on rooftop poles, a big analog clock mounted above Radio Shack, some fancy wrought iron balconies on the apartments above Toscanini’s and a sign announcing the law offices of Dewey, Cheatum and Howe on the windows above George the Curious. Who would’ve guessed? As pedestrians, I guess we?...
