...enters the picture. Billy Bob Thornton (Sling Blade, A Simple Plan) plays a hard-core, motorcycle riding, nonchalant controller who's reputation precedes him. A loner from day one, Russell keeps to himself and to his job. Rumor is that he's been around, having worked in Phoenix and Denver among other places, and comes with the highest recommendations. To him, it's all just a video game. He could care less about the people in the planes; he just lines up the moving blips on his controller screen, and lands them.

And now a seventh, the bloodiest of all: Littleton, Colo., just southwest of Denver, where three young men dressed in fatigues stormed into Columbine High School.

...TRASH THE TRASH CANS Billboards and bus stops are fair game for advertisements, so why not trash bins? Starting this fall, receptacles in some 450 cities, including Atlanta, Denver and San Francisco, will sport lighted ads on all four sides. AdBrite, which designed the bins, used what president Caesar Passannante calls "space-age technology," including shatterproof panels and energy-saving, fuel-cell-powered fluorescent lamps to make the spiffy, gold-trimmed black bins glow in the dark. But inside it's still just trash...
