...porch steps and have a cigarette and a glass of Tang. She won't smoke in front of him, but this is what counts as her down time, and it's a soft, cool, edge-of-autumn night full of wishing stars. The 1986 Ford Country Squire station wagon, gray-green with faux wood paneling, sits in the driveway. She bought it when she was pregnant. Some people build bookcases or drop $250 on a souped-up stroller. But this is the way a car girl nests. "I don't care what I drive as long as it's safe...
That civil outcome did not appear to lift the spirits of the Palestinian leader. At the White House press conference his expression was glazed, his skin gray and drawn. He canceled a press conference of his own, and at a dinner at the Egyptian embassy, Arafat behaved even more dispiritedly. "He looked sick and incapable of focusing," said a guest at the meal.

Outside a cafe, lighting a cigarette in the light rain, sits a woman who when she sings sounds for all the world like Billie Holiday, but, of course, she's not. Her name is Madeleine Peyroux. She is a 22-year-old American ex-expatriate who had been living in Paris, singing in the streets for money, but recently returned to the U.S. to pursue a more mainstream singing career. Her debut album, Dreamland...
...testers were concerned about the fragility of the Pilot, which comes sheathed only in a thin gray plastic case. The screen seems especially delicate; we cracked one by accidentally sitting on it (hardly a fair test). Fortunately, US Robotics offers quick repair service, and Pilot comes with a substantial warranty. US Robotics promises that the next version will be more durable--and possibly smaller still...
