This may be the first of Eminem's famously foul-mouthed tirades that gets a chuckle from his critics. While The Eminem Show (out May 28) is being pirated on modems and street corners across the country, those who believe that the rapper's coarseness has inspired a generation of delinquents can treasure the irony: those supposed hooligans are now picking his pocket. Eminem could lose millions of dollars to bootleggers, but his rant obscures the fact that as a performer, he's actually maturing.

Then, in 1998, Argentina defeated England again after midfield star David Beckham was sent off for a dumb but arguably minor foul. This time, wonder boy Beckham is again the story. Six weeks ago, Deportivo La Coru?a's Argentine midfielder Aldo Duscher felled Beckham in a game against Manchester United, breaking a bone in the Englishman's foot.

...from outside came in wafts, mainly over cell phones. The Israelis cut off the power in the main church, but the monks' rooms in adjoining dormitories sometimes had electricity, and the phones were charged there. The only toilets were on the second floor of the compound; they were soon foul because they couldn't be flushed once the Israelis cut off the water.
