...waged by Egypt's Muslim fundamentalists. A safari van filled with tourists came under a fusillade of small-weapons fire near Dairut, 168 miles south of Cairo. Sharon Pauline Hill, 28, from England, was struck by several bullets and died within 20 minutes. Two other British passengers received light flesh wounds. The Gama'a el-Islamiya, one of the most radical fundamentalist groups in Egypt, claimed responsibility in a brief statement given to reporters...
...subject of Limbaugh and Pat Buchanan is as fertile as Bush-Quayle. Will Durst, who refers to Limbaugh as "Jabba the Talk Show Host," says, "Buchanan had a killer instinct; he wasn't afraid to lick up the blood. But Rush leaves it there and just chews off the flesh."

...offers more dancing in the aisles than Five Guys Named Moe, more exposed flesh (of both genders) than Miss Saigon, more relentless good cheer than Crazy for You and more Carmen Miranda fruit-bowl hats than any other musical in Broadway history -- except for its predecessors of the same name.

The show serves a more diverse, multicultural crowd than...
This doesn't have to happen, with so many possibilities available to Coupland. He doesn't flesh out the relationship of Harmony and Skye, Tyler's friends, whose not-uncommon fear of dating strangers drives them to each other's arms because they've known each other since preschool days. Nor does Coupland tell the story of Daisy and her boyfriend Murray (also dreadlocked) searching in vain for politically correct employment. Coupland wants very much to be the voice of this generation, but he must understand that its stories are intriguing enough to stand on their own. He does...
