...used poor judgment in publishing details of the heroic French commandos' assault and counterterrorist activities to save hostages on Air France Flight 8969. It was not necessary to report just how the French gendarmes were able to determine the situation on board the aircraft by donning uniforms and impersonating airport service personnel. Let's face it: terrorists can read. Knowing exactly how the last group failed will enable the next bunch of skyjackers to execute their evil mission with even more tragic results...
Johnnie Cochran, lead defense attorney forO.J. Simpson, marched through his opening statement today, crisply attacking the prosecutors' case, while portraying his client as a victim of a "rush to judgment" by Los Angeles authorities. "We're going to talk about the trails that they didn't pursue," Cochran said. He hinted of a frame-up by authorities, claiming that the district attorney's office had ignored an account by a woman who was in Nicole Brown Simpson's neighborhood the night of the murder. Cochran claimed the woman informed the D.A.'s office that she had seen four men walking...
...about President Clinton is that he stands for nothing. Which is to say, he's willing to do just about anything to satisfy voters.

He's here against his better judgment, since the Mainstreamliberalpress insists on misunderstanding him. "I'm not a hater, not one of the angry radio guys. I'm an entertainer with a conservative agenda who wouldn't have 20 million listeners if I spewed venom. Yet you liberals lump me in with all the others," he says, lumping me in with all the others. This is surprising, since I have a history of giving Rush...
...somber judgment scene from Aida unfolds. Portraying the Egyptian princess Amneris is a singer identified in the program as "Carmelita Della Vaca- Browne," a burly Puerto Rican ex-soprano whose voice (since she gave birth to triplets) has darkened to a take-no-prisoners mezzo. In the role of the doomed warrior Radames, all-American tenor "Tex Stolto" can't seem to resist handing out 8-by-10 glossies of himself. And as Ramfis, the high priest, Russian bass "Boris Pistoff" doffs his headdress to reveal himself as a Conehead...
