...passionately, defiantly alienated lumpen prole white boys flirting with nihilism. ''I'm a negative creep,'' Nirvana's Kurt Cobain sang. Keith Richards remained cooler than Mick Jagger because he was a junkie; Sid Vicious became the permanently coolest member of the Sex Pistols when he died of a heroin overdose; Cobain has already spent some of his fresh superstardom as a heroin user. The Who and Jimi Hendrix ritually smashed and burned guitars onstage in the '60s; today Nirvana does its own instrument-destroying thing. There is a familiar solipsism. Alternative rock, says Atlantic Records' Danny Goldberg, who managed both...
...experimental spirit of alternative rock, while Ament and Gossard wanted to become big-time rock stars. The band they formed, Mother Love Bone, combined a heavy-metal sound with bouncy tunes. Just as the group seemed ready to break through in 1990, its lead singer died of a heroin overdose...

Smith and her lawyers argued that as Belushi's companion in his final days, she had acted at the 33- year-old comedian's urging. In Los Angeles last week, Smith's legal battle ended in a compromise. Prosecutors dropped a second-degree murder charge against the Canadian-born defendant in exchange for her plea of no contest to a count of involuntary manslaughter and three counts...
...main access to the central regions of the country. In provinces close to Kabul, such as Wardak, Ghazni and Logar, which were easy to visit two years ago, foreigners are regularly attacked and girls' schools burned at will. Afghanistan produces 92% of the world's opium (used to make heroin) and 35% of its cannabis and has a flourishing trade in looted antiquities. In a vicious cycle, narcotics, corruption and the absence of law and order are rotting the heart of the government and crippling the economy. Despite massive Western investment, Afghanistan is close to being a failed state...
