...streets of Dili, which is set to become Asia's newest capital city, days passed last week with a terrifying regularity. Mornings dawned in a foreboding calm. With the heat of midday, rumors flew--of thugs gathering, forming roadblocks, seeking those who support independence for the half-island of East Timor. By late afternoon shots were heard. At nightfall, streets were empty; most citizens stayed close to home...
Stars typically take the cheers or the heat for these moments; writers just take the money. It has ever been thus. Bob Hope's gagmen were awakened at 3 a.m. for emergency jokes; James Allardice wrote the droll TV monologues that made Alfred Hitchcock a household deity. But these scribes were as anonymous as the Roman speechwriter who whispered into the dying Caesar's ear, "Say, 'Et tu, Brute?'" So it's nice that Vilanch, a wide guy with a blond mop that makes him look like an obscene Senor Wences puppet...
...Morning News' questions about persistent rumors of pyrotechnic devices that led to a re-examination of the record and Reno's admission. Until then, she and the FBI had said only "cold" means had been used to disperse tear gas, and dismissed the notion that heat-producing devices had been deployed.

A yet unidentified FBI official on the ground authorized the plan but did not report it to Washington. The two M651 rounds ricocheted off the bunker and bounced uselessly into a field...
...great a risotto, but of all the bat catchers in St. Paul, I probably make as good a risotto as any of them. The secret, besides lavish administration of butter and cheese, is to rush the rice toward the finish line at high speed and then turn off the heat and coast across. My little girl thinks my risotto is more than good enough, but she is glad for everything we set before her. The chapter in the child manual on finicky eaters does not apply to her: she licks her chops the moment the bib is tied; she digs...
