...HEROIN-CHIC? Over-stuffed by our own indulgences, have we begun to pamper our dogs too much? Doggie dress-up is getting big, and not just for Halloween. Charities also seem to think the way to patrons' pockets is through their pooches. Next week on the doggie social circuit...
...beginning of my controlled adoration of Suzi Lee, Slide bandmember, who has just released her solo and French album, Blue. In this naked cluster of songs she wrote "for myself, to myself, from heart to soothe my soul," every number is aching and wistful and runs a private circuit all day between the head and the heart.

The U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that although Food Lion lost $1.3 billion when its stock plunged the week the segment aired, the loss was not the result of ABC?s fraudulent reporting methods, but of the report's findings, which were true. A divided court awarded the grocer a token...
