...well, not at Tarantino's. The director made numerous stumbles in the wake of Pulp Fiction, including an embarrassing guest-host gig on Saturday Night Live, a series of awkward acting efforts, and participation in the flop 1995 anthology Four Rooms. Although the 1996 horror flick From Dusk Till Dawn (directed by pal Robert Rodriguez), which Tarantino wrote, produced and appeared in, was a moderate hit, speculation whirled in the industry about whether his directing career had stalled. Miramax provided a jump start by buying the rights to four Leonard novels...
...York police and federal officers moved into action. They surrounded a rundown building at 248 Fourth Ave., just outside the middle-class Park Slope neighborhood, quietly evacuated 90 nearby residents and rerouted subway trains that carry 300,000 passengers every rush hour. Just before dawn, heavily armed cops swarmed into a first-floor apartment. One of the men inside reached into a bag, while another lunged for one of the officers' guns. Both men were shot repeatedly. The bag turned out to contain a powerful pipe bomb, one of several in the apartment. The suspect had succeeded in flicking...
Early last Tuesday morning, an odd little ritual played out in dozens--perhaps even hundreds--of homes across the U.S. Rising before dawn, a lot of sleepy-eyed folks switched on their televisions to the Weather Channel, powered up their camcorders and recorded a minute of programming right off the screen.

...Come dawn, and the densely populated neighborhoods explode with vitality and never-ending energy: today Hong Kong is Asia's international business hub and the world's eighth largest trading economy, as well as China's premier asset. In 1996, the territory's entities channeled about $100 billion into mainland China, about 60 percent of all the capital injected into the country. The economic links with the mainland represent the most significant factor to shape the short-term future of the territory, which has acquired the new status of China's Special Administrative Region in the historic event...
...because of--lower rims, spandex uniforms and a much smaller ball. The A.B.L., which operates in smaller markets during the fall and winter, is known as a players' league; it pays more--the average salary is $80,000 a year--and boasts of having the best players (Olympians Dawn Staley, Teresa Edwards and Katrina McClain). Playing in cities like San Jose, Calif., Richmond, Va., and Columbus, Ohio, the A.B.L. averaged 3,500 fans a game with very little TV exposure. By one estimate, the A.B.L. spent $6 million on salaries this year and $1.5 million on marketing. The W.N.B.A...
