Spend a night in Headwaters and it's easy to see why protesters have flooded into these woods to stop the loggers. Wake before dawn to hear the high-pitched keer of marbled murrelets, the rare, threatened seabirds that nest only in the top of old-growth redwoods. Vast, dark shapes begin to form: the trunks of enormous redwoods and Douglas firs rising as if to hold up the sky. Greens nationwide had hoped for a pact that would have spared some 60,000 acres--all six ancient groves, and the partly logged land between--as habitat for spotted owls...
...this, the dawn of the v-chip age, it is hard to understand how John Woo has found a place on prime-time network television. As you may already know if you are on the cutting edge of moviegoing, Woo is one of the pre-eminent auteurs of Hong Kong filmmaking, a master of somber, lyrical and unrelentingly bloody action films.

An autopsy revealed that either the crunching blow or the bullet could have killed...
...Democratic President to be elected to a second term, and began, "My fellow Americans, we have work to do, and that's what this election is all about." He must have used the word work two dozen times in his short speech, which concluded with, "Tomorrow we greet the dawn and begin our work anew"--as if six long months of a nation's listening to Bob Dole's gothic baritone and Clinton's pleading lilt had been a sideshow that ended in one brief act of citizenship. Now the President and the people could return to the course they...
