...youngest member of the clan Stephen has had his share of successes--including starring with Boyle in the love-triangle movie Threesome. A jack-of-all-genres, Stephen has played a rider with the Pony Express on TV's Young Riders, an unwitting biosphere resident in the comedy Bio-Dome, and now a crimesolving New York City cop. In his new movie One Tough Cop, Stephen portrays Bo Dietl, a former NYPD officer who apprehended the men who viciously assaulted a New York City nun in 1981. Attired in slick black clothes and with even slicker hair, Stephen looked like...
After that, it's time to get down and party! Along the riverbanks upstream from Greenwich to central London about six miles to the west, festivals and street parties will run well past dawn, with cruisers and river buses shuttling revelers between events. At the newly completed Millennium Dome, claimed to be the world's largest domed building (though it resembles a flying saucer with spikes), the evening extravaganza promises to surpass even the elaborate opening ceremonies of the Olympics. Tickets will be hard to come by, but 10,000 have been set aside for VIPs and distribution...
...semi-automatic weapon or two a day is routine. Yet the security measures taken here have no effect on accessibility. Pilgrimage under Israel's control has always been a priority, and despite the potential dangers, one can approach and enter the holy sites like the Western Wall and the Dome of the Rock almost 24 hours a day, through metal detectors and under the gaze of sharpshooters.

...computer models done with a federal computer program called SLOSH, which stands for Sea, Lake and Overland Surge from Hurricanes. The program, the backbone of all evacuation studies, takes into account storm tracks, local landmarks and coastal geography to calculate the effects of a hurricane storm surge, the dome of water pushed ashore by strong winds. Such surges can be the deadliest aspect of a hurricane. An immense surge overflowed the city of Galveston, Texas, in 1900 and killed more than 8,000 people, and possibly as many as 12,000. A surge raised on Florida's Lake Okeechobee...
...crowded with similar Christian groups. The women's ministry of James Dobson's Focus on the Family expects to pull in tens of thousands of participants at five conferences this year, and African-American pastor T.D. Jakes will host a "Woman, Thou Art Loosed!" rally at Atlanta's Georgia Dome this week. But WOF attracts more followers than its competitors. Attendance has grown from 36,000 in 1996 to 156,000 in 1997 to a projected 350,000 by year's end. It is a subsidiary of New Life Clinics, a private company that is the largest Christian counseling chain...
