...would come out brought predictable applause from the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, which is building a national "Come Out with Ellen" day around the episode; and predictable denunciations from the Rev. Jerry Falwell, who referred to the star in gentlemanly fashion as "Ellen DeGenerate," and from the Rev. Donald E. Wildmon, whose American Family Association has issued barely veiled threats to boycott Ellen's advertisers. A stalwart ABC says it nevertheless expects that Ellen will be fully sponsored, although two occasional advertisers on Ellen, J.C. Penney and Chrysler, have announced they won't continue to sponsor the show. This...
...Franzen's gloomy observation has not deflected him or three other gifted writers of his acquaintance: Donald Antrim, Rick Moody and David Foster Wallace, last year's young literary comet. Only two months after Franzen's complaint, Wallace made a connection with Infinite Jest, his 1,000-page opus about an early 21st century North America splintered by drugs, fanatics and a business ethic so venal that even the months of the year have product names...
WASHINGTON, D.C.: An Air Force briefing provided few answers in the continuing search for Captain Craig Button and his A-10 attack jet. Deputy Air Force chief of staff Major General Donald Peterson would not comment on an emerging theory that a despondent Button committed suicide by crashing the jet into New York mountain, where some 20 reports of smoke and explosions have led would-be rescuers to concentrate their search.

Dulcamara's vendor antics completely undercut his dramatic entrance and resonant "udite" ("listen!"), and his abracadabra, Darkwing Duck gesturings made one laugh out loud. If it hadn't been for the skillful comic acting of these two, the farcical plot would have been in awkward tension with the gorgeous music. Though...
...specific events were commonly notated "(Asian)" or "(Jewish)" along with specific amounts targeted. Events with Vice President Al Gore were to raise $10.8 million, and some documents suggested that Hillary Rodham Clinton should raise $5 million on her own. A Nov. 20, 1995, memo from then-DNC chairman Donald Fowler even called a Christmas dinner at the White House "an accountability event for prior projections and commitments." As Ickes himself wrote in one memo directed to Clinton and Gore: "The fund-raising needs for the DNC will require a very substantial commitment of time from the President, the Vice President...
