...take some chances," Drudge admits. But he boasts that his items are "80% accurate"--counting his (correct) prediction of Bob Dole's running mate and his (apparently inaccurate) report that Paula Jones saw a bald-eagle tattoo in Bill Clinton's crotch area. His brand of fast-and-loose journalism seems to work online, where getting it first often means more than getting it right. And why not?

...Bruce Thoren, a National Weather Service meteorologist said the storm was "too large to outrun and too strong to have survived, unless you got away from the path." In its wake, half a mile wide and seven miles long, the twister left at least 27 people dead, nothing but bald concrete slabs in the ground where homes once stood, and a small town with big gaps among its chains of families and friends...

Steven Spielberg has a cute bald spot--a silver-dollar-size patch of arid land on the otherwise fertile scalp that sheathes his even more fertile brain. When making movies he covers it with a studio-issue baseball cap, but certain formal occasions call for cagier camouflage. On Oscar night 1994, when Schindler's List won seven awards (including Best Picture and Best Director) and Jurassic Park took three others, a makeup artist sprayed Spielberg's bald spot with hair-colored paint. No problem, until half an hour into the post-Oscar party, by which time the star...
