...thought," Osborn recalled Saturday, "was this guy just killed us." The F-8 broke in half, slicing off the EP-3E's nose and disabling the right wing's inner engine. Wang fell to his death along with the flaming wreckage. The U.S. plane plunged into "an almost inverted dive," Osborn said. Since there are few windows on the EP-3E--most of the crew members huddle over screens and oscilloscopes requiring a dark interior--most of the crew never saw the F-8s approach their plane and knew of the danger only as the plane kicked hard over...

I am predicting a major victory for Congressional Democrats in 2002, and, to quote what will no doubt be the future slogan, Gore in ’04.

James Fogel, at age 50, has earned plenty of money as a lawyer, plus a splash of prestige as a criminal-court judge in New York City. Now he feels free to step down from the bench and dive back into the subjects he loved most in college: math and physics.

...with its inane, orgiastic storylines which are no better than something you would see on late-night Showtime. And even though I adore "Jackass," it certainly is not "responsible"-the opening disclaimer is written parodically and the stunts can easily be imitated (set yourself on fire, straddle a skunk, dive into a pile of elephant poop, chase naked midgets around South Central, etc.).
