...Insider (Why not call it Smoke?) has Al Pacino (as 60 Minutes producer Lowell Bergman) pointing and shouting like an aging mafioso. But Pacino is one of the good guys. The real gangsters are tobacco barons in Louisville, Ky., and network lawyers in New York City. They speak in genial or condoling tones; they have only the best interests of their corporations at heart and truly hope you see it their way. Otherwise they'll crush you. Brown & Williamson CEO Thomas Sandefur (played by Michael Gambon) has a manner as smooth as the draw of a Kool menthol into...
Jesus is munching on popcorn chicken in Loker Commons. This isn't your Father's Jesus: he's clean-shaven, cherubic, a genial-looking guy in a comfortable sweater--J. Crew, the official sponsor of the Second Coming. Meet Jeffery E. Fowler '01, who will play Jesus in this fall's production of Jesus Christ Superstar.

"I have to admit that at first I wasn't sure it was something I wanted to write, but I've been amazed...
That tale consumed three enthralling hours a while back on Coast to Coast AM, the 5-hr.-a-night radio show devoted to all things weird and shepherded by Art Bell, a genial host shrouded, until recently, in his own poignant mystery. Photo "evidence" of the parchment-skinned ET can be seen on Bell's busy website www.artbell.com (44 million hits since January '97). When he is asked about the alien in the freezer, Bell laughs heartily. "Do I have doubts about that story? Yes! Was it entertaining? Oh, absolutely!" Bell, 54, offers a forum for all manner of amazing...
