About 300 laughing and dancing students are crowded in Wreston Quad, standing in tight clusters on the lawn outside the frat houses. The dance remix, "My Heart Will Go On," is blasting from a third-story frat window, and students are chugging beers and ignoring the nearby police, who seem content to munch on pizza and watch the party...
...M.B.A.-packing capitalist. Like other entrepreneurs who have struggled with the How-Do-I-Make-Money-Online riddle, he figured that the first step was to attract a crowd. He started doing that in January 1995, when he got a friend to hang a camera out of the window of his Beverly Hills office and transmit to the Web live images of a bus-stop bench on Wilshire Boulevard. Oprah featured it and Bohnett on her TV show to illustrate the dubious pleasures of Web snooping. When crowds flocked to the site, Bohnett was ready. He put on his camera...
...mere passing glance at Alloro's interior betrays the change of ownership. The hungry sidewalk-stroller is beckoned by windows elegantly warmed by white Christmas lights. However, the transformed decor does not quite live up to the promise of the window. The previously honey-colored, textured walls have been repainted white and covered with Victorian porcelain plates.

Since the storms on the summit of Everest span over more than 11 months of the year, there is only a brief window of time when the peak can be reached.

The climbers cross the avalanche-ridden Khumbu Icefall for a second time en route to the top. When they reach their previous camp, the climbers split up with Vesturs taking the lead sans oxygen. Finally, the climbers reach the top but, as is often true of hard-earned...
From "Catwoman's Window Sill," we can catch a glimpse of yet another application of the noir label. Catwoman presents to the public, for the first time, her "Poem Noir" collection; it is her "darkest poetry ever! Enter at your own risk." In this verse which has "escaped the confines of [her] muse," we catch sullen moments such as the opening stanza of "Poem Noir I": "I'm in a bad mood/Fit to kill/One might say/Not that I would/Just don't give me a weapon." Perhaps not quite as arresting as Raymond Chandler, but at least killing things...
