...then biked home and fatally bludgeoned his mother. The month before, a teen broke into a house and knifed a woman to death because, he told police, "I wanted to experience killing." The same month, a 17-year-old boy hijacked a bus, forced the driver into a 19-hr. expressway odyssey and killed a passenger along the way. Also in May another teen was accused of severely beating a sleeping commuter-train passenger with a hammer...
...sizzling day last summer, Mabel and Rafael Valdes packed their two daughters and Mabel's grandmother into the family's Ford Explorer and headed down Highway I-75 for the 2-hr. drive from Coral Gables to Naples, Fla. But on the way, according to Mabel and her attorney, the tread tore loose--"like peeling a banana," says Mabel--from one of the Explorer's rear Firestone tires, causing the sport-utility vehicle to spin out of control, slam into a guardrail and flip over. The accident badly injured Valdes and her family and left her grandmother dead...
...Riffage's users rate the music and post reviews. Last week one of the showcased acts was a San Francisco-based country group called the Court and Spark (a user named Rodco called the band "supercool mood country"). Using a 56K modem, it took a mind-numbing 2 hr. 20 min. to download the band's track Sugar Pie in Bed (this critic was able to have a buffet lunch, shop at Barnes & Noble and listen to the new Papa Roach CD in the interim). Still, the track, with its gently curmudgeonly vocals and drowsy guitar, was worth the hassle...
...hr. 42 min., Time Regained has its slow spots, especially during the war years, when the prime social occasions are the funerals of those lost in either war or melancholy. Even then, there are beguilements aplenty in the work of some of France's ageless actress-beauties: Beart, Catherine Deneuve, Arielle Dombasle, Edith Scob, Marie-France Pisier. In their smart frocks and pretty predicaments, they make Proust seem a fashion that could never go out of style. This is a serious filmgoer's treat: intelligence cloaked in elegance...
That said, the Sony machine is swell in virtually every other respect. Its 7-in. LCD screen and 4-hr. battery time were clearly superior to the Aiwa's 5.8-in. screen and 2-hr. battery time. Also, it was better engineered for usability. It is solidly built (it has a metal case) and surprisingly trim, while the Aiwa is mostly plastic and clunkier; its battery pack clips on, adding weight and bulkiness. Sony's rechargeable battery, by contrast, is built...
