...band pulled out highlights from the album, each song was sucked dry of spontaneous energy. Guitars were too loud, Lennon's noodling was unnecessarily longer than studio versions and the backing band was emotionless. Lennon never even eked out more than a smile. Bright vocals buoyed the performance a bit, but the mood of the show came crashing down when the band broke out in a Beastie-like rap tune and then followed it with a Satan-core metal shriek fest. Rock bottom suddenly took on a whole new meaning...
Another approach is Disney's Internet Guide, a preselected list of family-safe websites similar to Yahoo's Yahooligans. Since the pool of acceptable sites is limited, surfing here is a bit like going to the children's library. It also suffers from weird glitches. In testing, every time I typed in a potentially objectionable word, it retrieved a transcript of a (tame) interview between two of my favorite writers, Martin Amis and Will Self. That's a bug I could live with...
...Airness" is a tiger on the court: all flowing power, amazing grace and indomitable will. Off the court, he is warm and comports himself with dignity and style, keeping a bit of mystery about himself. Because he doesn't engage in the excesses and on- and off-court buffoonery of teammate Dennis Rodman, you say he is bland. Jordan is one of the greatest personalities of this or any other century.

...first few years after he was elected in 1992, North Carolina's Lauch Faircloth tried to be every bit as conservative and unbridled as that other, better-known Republican Senator from the Tar Heel State, Jesse Helms. During the Whitewater hearings, Faircloth used his seat on the Senate Banking Committee to accuse Hillary Clinton of having "lied." In the fight over health-care reform, he was one of the most vinegary opponents of the Clinton plan--or Hillary Care, as he liked to call it. And just days before Kenneth Starr was named Whitewater independent counsel in 1994, Faircloth...
...reform? The answer is John Edwards. A 45-year-old trial lawyer and self-financed political neophyte, Edwards made HMO bashing the centerpiece of his recent come-from-nowhere campaign to win the state's Democratic Senate primary. In a year when public contentment guarantees most incumbents an extra bit of job security--but when unhappiness over managed care is the issue to watch--Edwards' surge has turned Faircloth's re-election into a fifty-fifty proposition. Democrats are jubilant over a new internal poll that shows the two men in a statistical dead heat. Even Republicans say the race...
