...barbaric business, no matter how sophisticated the technology or how noble the cause. But since the Gulf War, TV audiences have been conditioned to expect military conflict to be a "surgical" process, in which the bad guys are zapped off video screens at the push of a button. As in a game of Doom, the videos shown during NATO media briefings give no sense of the shattered bones and ripped flesh that follow when the bomb camera image turns to fuzz. And not surprisingly, the alliance prefers not to show any footage from the bombs that may have strayed from...
...debut album, Surreal is not bad. Somewhat of a cross between the Smashing Pumpkins and the Goo Goo Dolls, Swimmer's style is a mix of rough-edged rock and grating vocals. Named after the Burt Lancaster movie "The Swimmer," Swimmer produces lyrics that aren't especially interesting--your regular blend of hostility, angst, and stale emotion--but they do work for the group's rock and punk tendencies with a slight alternative twist.

Over the past few years, I have developed the bad habit of writing down notes on scraps of paper, inserting them into pockets of my wallet and then completely forgetting their whereabouts. A spring cleaning of my wallet recently turned up the business card of an Icelandic air-traffic controller, several unnamed phone numbers and a plethora of crumpled receipts, each bearing some scrawled epiphany that time has rendered completely unintelligible...
