...turned out, Ravitch's ambitious double-play pivot did not exactly match the grace of Cardinals shortstop Ozzie Smith. It took Ravitch 18 months to work out a limited revenue-sharing formula. And even then the wealthier teams made it contingent on the players' miraculously agreeing to a salary cap. And though the baseball contract officially expired at the end of 1993, Ravitch didn't put the owners' salary-cap proposal on the negotiating table until mid-June. This complex plan would limit total player salaries to 50% of overall major league revenues, although guaranteeing that overall salaries would...
...child, obstruction of justice and unlawfully communicating with a witness. Reynolds, who's been under investigation since June, denies all -- and says his now-18-year-old accuser's a lesbian who once practiced Satan worship. The ride can only get wilder, says TIME Chicago reporter Julie Grace, who notes Reynolds is also being chased for a spate of alleged financial crimes by the U.S. Attorney's Office, the Illinois Attorney General and the Federal Election Commission.

Another activist, Michael Bray, editor of Capital Area Christian News, has written that abortion providers should be stoned to death: "With each blow . . . by the grace of God, he may confess his sins and be saved before expiring."

He fears it will anger voters who want a vote on health care, not a procedural coup de grace. As G.O.P. pollster Bill McInturff warns, if reform dies on the floor, "Republicans have to be careful to keep our fingerprints off the murder weapon." The real threat to the Mitchell plan comes from Democrats and their supporters on both left and right. Clinton's endorsement horrified House Democrats still committed...
This scene from The Mask is a scream, all right. But no mere live-action film could boast the speed and grace of the 1943 cartoon that directly inspired it: Tex Avery's Red Hot Riding Hood. Catch it some night on cable's Cartoon Network. The Wolf enters a club called the Sunset Strip ("30 Gorgeous Girls -- No Cover"), and starts palpating when Red, in a scarlet bustier, sings Daddy. Wolfie goes bats: chairs fly, factory whistles blow, mechanical hands clap. And Red is worth every libidinal leer. With her Bette Davis voice, Betty Grable legs and Betty Boop...
