Desserts are, like the rest of the meal, pricey, running about $10—but worth the effort, especially since a trip to UpStairs on the Square is likely to coincide with a special occasion. A fresh citrus salad is served beneath two scoops of fresh, not excessively-sweetened tangerine sorbet and provides a zingy way to cleanse the palate and refresh stuffed patrons. Diners possessing large appetites will enjoy the apple pain perdu, a grown-up version of French toast that is surprisingly light...
...Potter ogres, there was still a healthy supply of singing Kiss dolls, Star Wars’ Amidala action figures, The Simpsons’ Bleeding Gums Murphy figurines, and Mary-Kate-and-Ashley videos to satisfy the masses. And who knows what loot (or lil’ looter) was left beneath the mounds of boxes piled in corners here and there? Even in the autumn of its years, FAO Schwarz had managed to provide, as its website boasts, a unique shopping experience in “an unforgettable environment.” Yes, long after the last toy has been sold...
That this macabre imagination is coupled with dazzling craftsmanship gives the designer his heat. Beneath the shock of his antics is a natural talent coupled with technique acquired as a teenage trainee on Savile Row, the London street celebrated for handmade suits. After an apprenticeship of Dickensian harshness, McQueen harnessed his skills to the construction of cunning jackets, curved to just conceal the breasts, and trousers, called "bumsters," slung so low as to be rude...
Carrying a pickax and shovel, Boston University geologist David Marchant trudges up a snow-dusted side canyon to Beacon Valley. The ground beneath his feet is as intricately patterned as a quilt, and under its rubble-strewn surface lurks a glacier of venerable age. Marchant believes this glacier has been frozen in place for millions of years--and if he's right, the ice in the glacier holds invaluable clues to an earlier epoch of global warming, one that offers a provocative parallel to the warming expected later in this century...
...Marchant has found ice that promises to be more ancient still, as it lies beneath layers of ash that range between 1 million and 8 million years old. Just like the Vostok ice, Marchant's ice contains air bubbles, meaning that it could produce a record of carbon dioxide swings that occurred over this distant and dimly understood interval of time. First, of course, Marchant will have to convince skeptical colleagues that his ice really is that old, that it has not been reworked by geological processes--and this is likely to take some doing. But if that effort proves...
