The adrenaline-charged opening begins in a pheromone-drenched disco on Pittsburgh's gay mecca, Liberty Avenue, then hurtles at 200 beats a minute into an outre lust scene between 29-year-old rake Brian (Gale Harold) and Justin (Randy Harrison), a kid of 17--count 'em, 17--years. No conveniently arranged sheets, no angst, no kisses shot from the back: in 10 hot minutes, QAF opens the closet of gay TV sexuality and chucks in a neon stick of dynamite...

...first time the Electoral College directly denied the presidency to the winner of the popular vote was in 1888. Grover Cleveland, running for re-election, beat Benjamin Harrison by 91,000 in the popular vote but lost, 233 to 168, in the Electoral College. It was a confusing election.

Proving he's the smartest celebrity in the world, HARRISON FORD decided to save the announcement of his separation from E.T. screenwriter MELISSA MATHISON, his wife of 17 years, until Election Day, when most of the news outlets were occupied with other things.

...Harrison Pope, co-author of The Adonis Complex, a helpful book on male body obsession, says parents should look at the world through their sons' eyes. "Boys are fed a diet of 'ideal' male bodies, from Batman to the stars of the WWF," he says. "So parents need to tell their boys--starting when they are small--that they don't have to look like these characters." Pope, himself an avid weight lifter, says parents should also educate themselves and their sons on the uses and dangers of supplements such as adrenal hormones. "Any kid can go into a store...
