...Boone. It is a tragedy in a mountain pass, winding round a curve at 11,000 ft. where the bus carrying the high school football team went over the edge in 1971. The road gossips down Main Street and dresses up for the cities and, when it reaches the desert, stretches to the horizon and falls fast asleep...
...OLIVER STONE. Though stories of Stone's bacchanalian ways and Tarantino's saucy self-confidence are nothing new, Hamsher's gonzo take on NBK's evolution offers an insider's view of show-biz egos. Among the choice bits: details about Stone's stoned-out mushroom trip in the desert and Tarantino's close connection with Miramax, the company that released his hits Pulp Fiction and From Dusk till Dawn.

...mysterious aircraft crashed at Roswell. But UFO researchers point out that the two stories have been rather awkwardly cobbled together.

This is the indisputable core of the Roswell Incident. Whether one chooses to believe that the government...
...sometimes mutable memories of aging "witnesses" and the fact that some of the most provocative evidence is secondhand. Industrious UFOlogists may spend years tracking down slim leads like the one attributed to a former cafe owner in Taos, N.M., who told interlocutors that an old customer, a desert rat named Cactus Jack, once told her he was "out there when the spaceship came down" and saw dead aliens with blood "like tar." But despite the best efforts of Kevin Randle and others, no one has yet been able even to confirm Jack's existence, let alone his veracity. Hunting spacemen...
