Food tips that make life easier. Well, At Least There Was Good Stuff to Read: The Books of the Decade. Anybody remember how anxious and thrilled we were in those last months of the 20th century? When we weren't at war and we had a budget surplus and it looked like Al Gore would be president? The prospect of a 21st century filled with new technologies, new art and literature loomed large and bright.

These prices constitute, as the Dollar Rubber Club's wink-wink nudge-nudge slogan goes, "the best bang for your buck. " Art 1. Optical Design.
