...Before Aaliyah broke into films she was breaking the mold in music videos. In the mid-'90s, around the time that she was making her "One in a Million" video, it seemed as if the video form was dead. Finished. Stick a fork in it. The form seemed to lack the power to surprise or even to entertain. Musicians were making videos because they had to, because MTV was the new radio, because perhaps they had a couple of hours to kill after a gig on Saturday. Increasingly, at that time, videos were a thing to ridicule and even...
...steel consumers and ordinary shoppers don't have the pull in Washington that Big Steel does (though you'd think they'd get a little more consideration in the middle of a recession), and it does look like the White House or Congress is going to have to fork over something to protect their political hides.

Kayoko, a thin 17-year-old with long, permed hair, is sitting with two girlfriends on a wooden bench when she hatches the plan. This grassy...
...Brown vignettes a certain savagery but with limited scope. The whole book, owing chiefly to its "gag" format, begins to feel like the same note being hit over and over. It lacks the rich development of the Jimmy Corrigan series. Still, Ware's single note resonates like a tuning fork for America. After putting down "Acme" 15 I opened a piece of junk mail soliciting satellite TV that began, "Bring joy into your life." The Wareian "gag" completed itself in my head: the dish on the window sill, and me alone on the couch in my underwear staring at Jessica...
