...equally provocative effort. She bristles when asked if she's going too far with her spiked heels and X-rated raps. "What's going too far? Marilyn Manson urinates on a crowd, and he's respected," she says. (Actually, he denies urinating on anyone, and his respect is somewhat dubious.) Nevertheless, Brown's not changing. "You're still going to see the stiletto heels and the sweats. That is the real Foxy...

...beleaguered American Medical Association made another dubious decision? An AMA source says panic over potential wrath from Republicans was the prime reason for the firing last week of GEORGE LUNDBERG, 65, longtime editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association, who the AMA said was booted for "inappropriately and inexcusably interjecting JAMA into the middle of a debate that has nothing to do with science or medicine."

The United States, under the dubious leadership of President Clinton, has fallen from the high ground that earned it the respect and sometimes the envy of much of the world. The nation no longer stands alone as the stronghold of democracy and ideals that Europeans could rely on as unwavering in the pursuit of the good and the just.
