Mann channeled these earlier minor eruptions into great cleansing explosions. In The Naked Spur, Stewart is a bounty hunter who is shot, rolled down a rocky cliff, betrayed by partners, tortured by fever into screaming delirium. He uses the spur of the title to dig handholds up a sheer cliff, then embeds it in the face of his prisoner (Robert Ryan). Some fans of Stewart the gentle child-man do not like to see him become a snarling avenger. But that is what happens when the sense of one's own virtue is affronted. American innocence fairly begs...
...knew that three weeks on the road wouldn't make us experts on local issues. (On the other hand, that didn't seem a good argument for staying home.) TIME has journalists based throughout the country. With Nation editor Priscilla Painton prodding them to think unconventionally and dig deeper, they spent months scouting out stories and reporting them in depth. She and Steve Koepp, in addition to spending time on the bus, edited the issue. It features the pictures of Diana Walker, who took a break from her usual assignment as our White House photographer to join...
...Dig a little deeper and you discover the great contradiction of a teenage satisfaction: it's unsatisfied. Over and again the kids will tell you: home--you gotta love it and leave it.

In a series of recent interviews with Arkansas state troopers and 12 to 15 women, including Paula Jones, investigators swerved from their usual hunt for business-related information to unearth details on Clinton's sex acts and any illicit rendezvous with other women, The Washington Post reported. Attorneys working with independent counsel Kenneth Starr argue that the interviews were necessary to establish whether President Clinton...
...have moved fewer than 60,000--the Spice Girls sold more than that last week. Even the Chemical Brothers, after a media push that would make Madonna blush, has failed to crack Billboard's Top 10. And what's worse, these CDs have been creatively wanting--the Chemical Brothers' Dig Your Own Hole (Astralwerks) features a few songs that energetically blend rock and hip-hop, but Public Enemy and the Beastie Boys did it better in the '80s. The Future Sound of London's Dead Cities (Astralwerks) is as exciting as a dead Tamagotchi, and Underworld's Pearl's Girl...
