...first murder victim is a much-hated editor who supervised the newspaper's standards of word choice, and who personifies the tyrannical, pretentious side of the Times. (The inside joke here is that the victim, Theodore Ratnoff, is portrayed as a tall and handsome strapping blond, while the real editor of standards, Allan Siegal, was short and heroically rotund.) His body is discovered with a telling item stuck into his chest: a newspaper spike, the symbol of days gone by, when an editor rejecting copy would spike it on a metal spire atop one's desk. The smart-alecky reporter...
...Tanzania CONSTANT PERIL Albinos in this East African nation are fearing for their lives after the latest in a rash of ritualistic murders. More than 20 albinos, who suffer from a genetic disorder that results in sensitive, pigmentless skin, blond hair and blue eyes, have been killed in the past year. The main suspects are local witch doctors, who sell albino organs and hacked-off body parts as good-luck charms. In April, Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete appointed an albino to be a Member of Parliament and ordered a crackdown on witch doctors...
...also looking at Halifax, Nova Scotia, a five- college town with dozens of hometown bands, as well as Portland, Oregon -- Gus Van Sant-land and a grunge Mecca in the making.

But in fact it has spawned bands with names like Rocket from the Crypt and rust; both have signed with major labels. Explains Kane (that's just Kane), president of Headhunter Records, a local label...
...last week just to get Stern to autograph copies. Quite a response to a 435-page autobiography filled with explicit sex talk, nasty put-downs of such celebrities as Johnny Carson and Arsenio Hall, and rampant ethnic slurs (''How do you like those Hispanic chicks who dye their hair blond? That's an attractive look. No wonder some Spanish guys are ready to rape any white woman who comes along''.) As for Ted Danson, he's still dealing with the fallout from a rare stab at stand-up comedy. Appearing at a Friars Club roast for his lover, Whoopi Goldberg...
There she stood, a vision of tawdriness: blond hair, black skirt, red bra over taut white flesh. She was that odd-lot remnant of the '80s, a Madonna wannabe. But most of the other fans at the Toronto SkyDome last week for the North American opening of the singer's Girlie Show tour were dressed in civvies. For them, the star was only something to stare at. She is not a role model, not after a decade in the spotlight. These days, does anyone wanna be Madonna? Does anyone even wanna see Madonna? Not on the movie screen. Body...
