...lark," says a London theater-goer who clambered into one on a recent evening for the short ride to a nearby restaurant. Passengers are partially exposed to the elements, so many pedicabs come equipped with a blanket for cold, rainy nights. Rickshaw rides aren't cheap, though. In London, where most pedicab drivers ply their trade among the winding streets of the West End theater and entertainment district, a trip for two from Waterloo Bridge to Soho will run you about $20. In Paris, where rickshaws also go by the name pousse-pousse, a 40-minute ride around the city...
Today, this is a dream: an expensive and far-fetched twinkle in the eye of the Pike’s highest don. For such a dream, devoting $10,000 for an exploratory study must have seemed cheap to Amorello. The pharaohs had their pyramids; Mitterand, his Chunnel. Amorello might have his magnetically-levitated monorail. As chair, Amorello took over the Big Dig in February 2002, and for nearly two years the rest of the transportation world have looked on with a combination of envy and schadenfreude. But a man of Amorello’s imagination is no more satisfied with...
...appear to "disturb Gayoom's reverie" is highly partial-particularly given the fact that immediately after they happened, he appeared on national television talking about them, and visited the relatives of the prisoner who died. What's more, the gibe about a presidential yacht is a cheap one. In a country of 1,200 islands-only three of which have airports-most travel is made by boat, so it is hardly surprising that there is a presidential boat! The final quotation from the interview with the President was used completely out of context. This sentence was cut out: "There...
...decades, ros? has been scorned as the drink of wine illiterates. Universally, if unfairly, identified with cheap, rounded bottles of Mateus Ros? (apparently a favorite tipple of Saddam Hussein), it's now making a comeback in slick, new guises as winemakers attempt to second-guess a fickle market. Pinot Noir is no longer trendy, Riesling had a short-lived spell of cachet?ros? could be the new flavor of the month. Numbers from the C?tes du Provence region in France, one of the world's main ros?-producing areas, show that exports are on a steady annual increase...
...gonadal genius was the gatefold. The center of the magazine kept opening, like the promise of erotic deliverance on a summer night, until the 24-inch Playmate photo was displayed - more than a third of her actual height, and four times the size of a shot in the cheap magazines. Foldouts were a feature of Life as well, but those were typically illustrations of the Stone Age, suitable for schoolroom use. Hefner had in mind a more tactile edification. His Playmate centerfolds, in addition to giving males the opportunity to strengthen their eye-hand coordination and prompting too many jokes...
