...Wednesday--a very nice day with the sun shining. The rebels came to the house at around 4 in the afternoon. There were two: a man about the same age as my father and a child soldier carrying an ax. They weren't armed, apart from the ax, and they were in ordinary clothes. There were about 15 of us. The man picked out six and took us to the rebels' base at Black Tank. I was frightened because I didn't know what was going to happen...
...Freddie Kruger! Retire the mask, put down the ax and take a lesson on how real horror evolves! Nothing so purely frightening has happened in a good 30 years.

"That...
...World Wrestling Federation stripped her of her moniker; the clothes, she took off herself. Last week Rena Mero, the wrestler who can no longer be called SABLE, settled her $110 million lawsuit against the WWF. The blond battle-ax and mother of one had sued the league over her claims that it demanded she bare her breasts and participate in lesbian story lines. Though neither party will divulge the financial details, Mero has agreed to relinquish rights to the name Sable and for the next three years stay out of the ring, where she seems to have few issues with...
