...thrilling as the September Hillary story. And George Pataki doesn't grab the reader's attention as much as George W. (What is this, the Governor of the Month feature?) And so the content will never be the same as the initial issue. Whatever buzz is left will die down very soon...
Everyone knows that waterbeds are tacky. But dangerous? Well, maybe for babies. A new study from the Federal Consumer Product Safety Commission indicates that children under the age of two are more likely to die while sleeping with their parents - particularly in waterbeds - than in their own cribs.

Maintaining that balance is especially hard, because if a hurricane stirs up too much cold water, it will weaken and die.

Indeed, only two have hit the U.S. during this century, among them the 1969 hurricane named Camille...

"I'd rather die than go back," he says. "I can make as much in a month in the fields"--about $1,100 after taxes--"as in a year back home...
