...readily accessible soapbox, the Net attracts the same groups that have always tacked pamphlets on grocery store and college bulletin boards and placed tiny ads in the backs of journals to get the word out. As disturbing as the quasi-philosophical blather on the Heaven's Gate website may be, it never got much attention until the networks and Internet publishers (including Pathfinder) sought it out as legitimate news in the wake of the deaths. As far as anyone has been able to determine, the Heaven's Gate cult used the Net mainly to memorialize itself, or to generate freelance...
Writer Leslie Bohem and director Roger Donaldson brush briskly through the standard scientific and romantic blather. They know that in movies like this, complexity is the province of the special-effects people. It's the same with the actors.

Knowing this, it is little wonder that the White House has not wasted its time or its breath on the standard blather about a Presidential mandate that usually follows a successful re-election campaign--they know, as we all know, that this election was not a mandate for Bill Clinton or the Democratic Party...
...missed the discussion about entitlement reform during the campaign, don't worry. Nothing serious surfaced--just a lot of blather about the need to do something, which is hardly news to most Americans. It's especially plain to the majority of younger workers, who are convinced that Social Security and Medicare will be little more than dim memories when they stop working...
