While he was a member of the rap group Leaders of the New School and when he appeared on a Tribe Called Quest's classic "Scenario," the hyper Busta set himself aside from the rest of the pack. Moving into the realm of solo performers, he took his audacious persona to another level with flashy, self-designed fashions and outlandish videos. On his solo debut, however, the originality and energy of the image never seemed to match that of his music (except with the hit "Woo-Ha"). Although a creative lyricist, Busta delivered his fractured stream of consciousness flow...
...Wednesday, 100 weathermen blew into Washington, D.C. to give the President his annual tribute of Al Roker's weight in gold--and basically to yak about global warming, which, as Al said, "we don't like." They should have all watched Soylent Green (1973): Chuck Heston in a classic 'open your eyes, dammit!' film with a conscience, in which pollution, overpopulation, and the greenhouse effect have conspired to cram 40 million people into New York, where it is 95 degrees year-round. A very sweaty movie, and family viewing only if your kids won't recycle. But Chuck...
Your home has always been your castle, and it used to double as a piggy bank, until a classic late-'80s bust crushed the notion of housing as an investment.

The Midwest is seeing some of the biggest leaps...
...disaster and death are about to strike his family. The only way to stave off catastrophe, his mind tells him, is to follow self-imposed rituals to the absolute letter: making coffee in a way that never varies, driving around Los Angeles along the same route every day. A classic victim of obsessive-compulsive disorder, Goodman has been in treatment since he was seven, without much change. Now he is on Zoloft. "Before the medicine," he says, "it was like living in hell...
Fall, and a young man's thoughts turn to ... the Division Series? Baseball begins its month-long playoff tomorrow, and while we may mourn the passing of the days when the first-place team from the American met the champion of the National in one simple Fall Classic, we also know that today baseball's marketing-gone-amok will first make us sit through weeks of lesser contests. Case in point: Atlanta, the team with the Big Leagues' best record, takes on a Houston Astros club that barely won more than it lost. Where's Judge Landis when you need...
