...show is a bit problematic: on one hand, the girl selling CDs at the back of the room had the requisite face piercings and don't-mess-with-me attitude; on the other hand, the mosh pit was full of drunken frat-boy types in Abercrombie cords and button-down shirts. Although periodic stage-rushes interrupted the general quietude, the scrunchie-clad and turtlenecked coeds who surfed the crowd looked like something out of 90210-goes-to-Seattle. It was puzzling, to say the least...
...Jersey Governor Christie Whitman's campaign is in trouble, but you wouldn't know it from the breezy air and Ralph Lauren setting of her latest television commercial. The Governor strolls through rolling hills and lush gardens, tossing a football with her family. Taylor Whitman, 18, sporting a blue button-down shirt and crisp chinos, praises his mother's integrity while posing in front of a well-landscaped flower bed.

When Timothy McVeigh enters the Denver courtroom of Judge Richard Matsch, he does not behave at all as you would expect, given the rigid, blank-faced image he projected at his arrest. He usually emerges from the holding cell for defendants with a big smile. Wearing a button-down shirt and khaki pants, his hands in his pockets, he struts toward the defense table. On his way, he makes eyes at female paralegals and chats with them. He nods and grins at the press and the prosecutors. McVeigh is accused of killing 168 people, 19 of them children...
