...taken that my outlook changed. Unsure and uncertain, I stumbled into "Warning! Hot Ice." Well, curiosity cured the cat this time. A long-time victim of step and slide boredom, I sensed a world opening to me as the music boomed into the studio and silenced the drone of Stairmasters. Warming up to Salt 'n' Pepa, the instructor told us to get ready to move...
...catch that little-noted stunner in the midst of last week's Whitewater drone? If you were glued to the congressional hearings, to the repudiated diaries, sworn contradictions and "I don't recalls," you may have missed it.

At the same time, Marines would arrive to reinforce the U.S. embassy in Port-au-Prince...
...citizens who once took pride in their nation's world-class stature now find themselves shoved to the margins of the world stage and forced to swallow a mortifying demotion from superpower to global beggar. While Yeltsin seems increasingly isolated at home behind the Kremlin and liberal politicians drone endlessly about mastering inflation and listening to the IMF, Zhirinovsky is one of the few leaders who speak in a language that average Russians can understand...
