...When Dallas made the playoffs in year three, cracks began to appear. Jones and Johnson began squabbling like tots competing for Tinkertoys. Johnson sulked when Jones brought celebrities like Prince Bandar of Saudi Arabia onto the field during games at Texas Stadium. After the team's first Super Bowl victory, Jones wrested the championship trophy from Johnson's hand. Troy Aikman was throwing the touchdown passes, and Emmitt Smith was running over defenders.

...well it should be, having first buoyed the equally sweet and naive Ariel of "The Little Mermaid." Her voice brings life to Thumbelina's giggling, almost Barbie-like appearance, though her partner Prince Cornelius, a sixteen year old adventurer with a haircut somewhere between a crew cut and a bowl cut, has a voice that seems a little forced in comparison...

...Chinese, value almost every part of the cat. They believe that tiger-bone potions cure rheumatism and enhance longevity. Whiskers are thought to contain potent poisons or provide strength; pills made from the eyes purportedly calm convulsions. Affluent Taiwanese with flagging libidos pay as much as $320 for a bowl of tiger-penis soup, thinking the soup will make them like tigers, which can copulate several times an hour when females are in heat...
