...night spot. But his sojourn among the whips-and-chains crowd was interrupted by the activities of free-lance photographer Robin Dallimore. Clooney snatched Dallimore's camera but was unable to remove the film and asked Dallimore to do it. The photographer obliged, then tried to flee with it, angering Clooney, who, Dallimore says, "ripped my shirt and started to claw me," leaving scratch marks on his neck. Police declined to lay charges, perhaps figuring that's the sort of thing Hellfire patrons...
Their rampant slaughtering and torturing drove millions, including my parents, to flee to Hong Kong. Sure, the British took Hong Kong unjustly. But without them, Hong Kong wouldn't have a prosperous free-enterprise economy, a free society governed by law, a clean and efficient government. So now that the glorious Union Jack has been lowered for the last time in beautiful Hong Kong, I want to thank the British for all they've done to make Hong Kong what it is today.

...work of Andrew Cunanan, authorities said late Thursday. Police now say the doctor, who died from "trauma" to the upper part of his body, not a gunshot wound, may have been killed in a domestic dispute with his brother.

Reports had him driving in Key Largo...

Its earliest colonists in the Northeast--Pilgrims, Puritans, Quakers, "Pennsylvania Dutch"--were all seeking to flee European persecution and corruption (as they saw it) and trying to set up various kinds of religious Utopias. The main tool of Catholic Spain's colonization in the Southwest was the Franciscan mission. And yet the paradoxical fact is that the U.S. has never produced a substantial body of formal religious...
...second set of central characters--the collection of mismatched lovers who flee into the forest--is equally well-played by its four talented and entertaining actors. Tom Davidson '99 and Jeremy Salfen '00 are quite good as the hot-headed and hapless suitors Lysander and Demetrius and the more challenging women's roles are excellently filled by Monica Henderson '99 as Hermia and Elena Schneider '99 as Helena. If the men's roles are supposed to be almost interchangeable, then the women must play off each other's differences, and Henderson and Schneider work well together. Their portrayals of strong...
