Take Nick's Beef and Beer Haus, remove the log appointments from the wall-mounted red flame lamps, add orange vinyl-backed chairs, two dozen round fake-wood tables and a whole mess of American flags and voila--you have the scene for the September 21 Clinton/Gore campaign organizing meeting in Cambridge...
Semi-petty protestations aside, Singles is an intelligent film that delivers an apolitical portrayal of contemporary urbanites. It offers little by way of metaphysical beef that we might digest, but it does resolve that handsome, white, comfortable, post-college white Seattlites can cultivate healthy male/female friendships both with and without fooling around...
...depths of bad taste. The premise: two hunks are sent on dates successively with the same three women, then appear on the show to guess which ones made various comments about them. The remarks are suggestive sound bites like "He gasped in amazement when I slurped down that beef" or "A few sparks, a big thrust and his mighty rocket started to rise."

Ostrich meat is healthful as well: half the calories of beef, one- seventh the fat and considerably less cholesterol, and it even bests chicken and turkey in those categories. Huntington's, a posh eatery in Dallas' Galleria, serves, among other ostrich specialties, a blackened fillet, an ostrich tortilla pizza and a hibiscus-smoked ostrich salad...
