With a defunct sitcom and a fledgling talk show, a girl's got to find some way to get attention. So last week ROSEANNE and the Barr Flies commandeered New York City's legendary downtown club CBGB and cracked some of rock's finer chestnuts. Opening with a Rolling Stones medley, the former Ms. Arnold interpreted Satisfaction in ways Mick Jagger surely never intended and with a refreshing indifference to melody. She screeched her way through My Generation and I Wanna Be Sedated, pausing only to eat chocolate, swill beer and swear, charming the young crowd with her atonal exuberance...

...ACLU was a loud rejection of both President Clinton, who backed a much-diluted version of the bill, and the Supreme Court, whose rulings have consistently declined to raise the bar for reasonable property seizure. Ultra-liberals like Frank saw it as a civil-rights issue; ultra-conservatives like Barr saw it as a chance to keep government power in check.
