...late-blooming gourmet, Kuleto, 55, first got into the restaurant business through the service entrance. He started as a busboy, waiter and cook, then worked as a contractor. When business got slow, he offered to design some steak houses for free if the owner let him build them. Despite a lack of formal training, the burly carpenter had an intuitive feel for creating dramatic, bustling environments that complemented rather than competed with the food. By the time his '50s-style Fog City Diner (in his home base of San Francisco) caught critics' eyes in 1984, Kuleto had thrown away...
...from a single huge slab of glass but from 36 smaller sheets that would, under a computer's control, act as one. And in Europe, design teams came up with yet another idea, the exact opposite of Angel's: instead of making the mirror hollow to save weight, let it be thin--about 8 in. thick for an 8-m mirror, in contrast to the 5-m Hale's 26 in.--and counteract the resulting floppiness with computer-controlled supports that continually readjust its shape...

The system is dauntingly tricky and complex, but its astonishing precision will let astronomers tease out the details of galactic structures and distant solar systems as never before...

Yet social workers let him stay with his parents, then never set eyes on him--even after 15 visits to the family home brought no one to the door. All the social workers did was send a certified letter. Joel's body was later found in a shallow grave. His stepfather and uncle...
EXTENDED COVERAGE "OUT OF BOUNDS" The game itself is only a small part of The Game. If there's spousal abuse (surely a favorite avocation of today's professional athlete), let's see it! That's what the innovative kitchen-counter cam is there for. And replay those 911 calls from wives and girlfriends over the stadium's loudspeakers during huddles...
