Perhaps there is another Spy-Seagal similarity here. Both are adept at high- wire innuendo -- Spy as a key to its satirical japery, Seagal as a spur to his myth. If he did make these remarks, he may have intended them as macho provocations, as sick jokes or as acid tests -- the ultimate Spy prank...
With free love and acid trips out the window, one might ask what is left for those of us who had to sit through the morality lessons of the Reagan-Bush era? Scandals.

Nickel-cadmium batteries provide 50% more power but at eight times the price (around $30,000, replaceable every two or three years). Sodium-sulphur batteries offer three times the energy but run both hot (at temperatures of 600 degrees F) and volatile...
