...evidence was all circumstantial, but it was enough for a local judge. In April 1987 the police got a search warrant and went through Ridgway's house looking for anything that would tie him to the murders. Under the warrant, they took hair cuttings and had Ridgway chew on a piece of gauze to take a sample of his saliva. Neither they nor their suspect realized how important that would be 14 years later...
First, determine how many of those 9,000 minutes are peak ("anytime") and how many are off-peak (usually nights and weekends). A plan with 8,700 off-peak minutes but only 300 peak is no bargain. Even long-winded midnight gabbers rarely chew up more than 3,000 off-peak minutes. And for most people, 300 peak minutes is the bare minimum...
...Dodgers' camp with a wad of bubble gum in his mouth. Catcher Paul Lo Duca noticed this and asked the former Japan League All-Star if he had taken a special liking to American gum. "Actually, he says it's horrible," Ishii's interpreter, Scott Akasaki, relayed. "He just chews it because you guys do."

...Eurowimp. He's not ponderous, hand-wringing and he doesn't lecture. He gets to the bottom line and that's Bush's cup of tea." The President recently wrote Blair a note saying, "I like your style." They use each other as sounding boards, they chew things over, and they disagree - though Downing St. is exceedingly disciplined about not leaking details. Nevertheless, that Vice President Cheney finally waded into the Middle East peace process last week looks from London like a vindication of Blair's long-standing advice. Bush's 50% foreign aid hike over three years is also...
...official line is that wartime Prez George W. Bush was taken to the mat by a lowly pretzel while watching American football. But world reaction has been fairly skeptical. Surely President Bush, a potato chip and pork rinds sort of guy, is familiar with proper snack consumption. (Open mouth. Chew. Swallow. Repeat.) Was this a rogue pretzel acting on its own deranged whims, a la Richard Reid? Or could this single snack be linked to a greater conspiracy of evildoers, perhaps globe spanning in its dimensions, a la ... Richard Reid? News media across the world rose from the doldrums...
