...size of the Insight and Prius is a potential turnoff for consumers, who fear collisions with gargantuan SUVs. "I'd like to use less gas," says Laura Blalock, a Memphis, Tenn., chemist. "But I can't enjoy saving Mother Earth if I'm worrying about getting squashed like a bug." Customers like Blalock won't have long to wait for heftier hybrids. In 2003, Ford will produce a hybrid version of its Escape sport utility, expected to get 40 m.p.g.

If Gore gets elected, the era of big government being over is over. And so too, I fear...
...irrelevant, that haunting possibility of becoming "domesticated" drives Madonna to be so desperately ambitious, impossibly brilliant and acutely self-aware. Madonna knows the impact of her own revolutionary spirit--the world has become incredibly small to her, if you think about it--and that has brought her both gargantuan fame and the stigma of arrogance. There is no question that Madonna has developed into somewhat of a pretentious personality. She clings to a smarmy British accent, bashes Britney Spears and the other teen pop stars even though her early music was just as packaged and diluted, complains about the "sucky...
