...lost his sons; rather harder for the mother who had surely lost her mind. But the hardest of all were for the boys. Dear God, let them have been asleep that night, snuggled in the safety of their car seats. That way they wouldn't have felt the rough gravel road through the forest, or seen the edge of the dark lake. They would not have wondered why their mother got out of the car, leaving the doors and windows shut tight, why the car was still moving forward with no one behind the wheel. It was too much...
...Channing whom one comes to see, and she exceeds expectations. Though she has played Dolly more than 4,000 times, her gawky, over-the-top performance is still heartfelt and honest, and the audience cheers her for it. There's more gravel in her baritone, but she is pitch-perfect and a mistress of timing. She can build a laugh into a roar by simply chewing. And her disdain is magnificent, contemplating a gift of "chocolate-covered peanuts -- unshelled...
Plutonium is generally more available than enriched uranium but harder to build a bomb with. Smuggling enough stolen plutonium is reasonably easy: the gray metal commonly comes in 2-lb. bars or gravel-like pellets.

But airport metal detectors, which would register any sizable quantity, are to be avoided...
...voguing, kids and grownups alike still want slow numbers that let them pull their partners close. "There's always been a ballad in the Top 10," says Foster. "People love something with heart." For a while, teens favored the "power ballads" put out by hard-rock bands with gravel-voiced vocalists, but Foster has helped bring back the singing group. All-4-One, Color Me Badd (co-produced by Foster), Boyz II Men and Jodeci are winning fans with street-corner harmonies reminiscent of the '50s and early...
...images are the worst in a decade. Hundreds of emaciated corpses line the sun-baked gravel roads. The bodies strewn in contorted positions attract only flies and other pests; workers in masks and gloves stack the dead as chunks of rotting chordwood in loose piles. Beyond the dead, upon the roads and grassy fields are the living. Of course they can hardly be called such as most of them appear to be human skeletons shrouded in thin layers of skin and brightly colored clothing. Tragically these scenes are reminiscent of other scenes related by American GIS liberating the concentration camps...
