...second voice that needs encouragement - the one that faces facts and deals with them. Every alcoholic knows, in some region of the brain, the truth about what he is. But every alcoholic will do almost anything to avoid facing the truth. Moderation management gives the addict a hiding place. It poisonously helps him along in the avoidance, gives him a strategy (14 drinks... wellllll, maybe 16 or 17 this week... or, just this once, maybe, oh, 42) and moral cover (it's all right, you see, I'm in this program...) to continue doing the one thing he must...
...hands crowd surfing by Ryan. With Adam Gardener on guitar and vocals and Brian "Thundergod" Rosenworcel at the bongos, the Guster trio played a varied set of songs from all three of their albums--the latest and most well known being _Lost And Gone Forever_.

Speaking of websites, check out www.uglypeople.com. I'm agog... By all appearances, Whitney Houston is a drug addict. Mariah Carey is graceless, unintelligent and so 1992. Celine Dion has a new ugly hairdo. Jennifer Lopez is rapidly wearing out her welcome. Madonna suddenly becomes an Anglophile. Is it any wonder that we have a new crop of teen divas? All the old dames are lame... And while...
Somehow this plotless work becomes suspenseful. The promising Thoroughbred goes lame; the unassuming little chestnut wins a race. "A football game is one story, one day a week. That's boring," a track addict explains to his son. "A day at the races is thousands of stories, with grass around, trees around, a breeze, some mountains in the background." Smiley tells just a few of those stories, but it makes for a fine...
