...while, it looked as if he would. After Pritchard won the comedy competition, he scored every funny man's fantasy: an appearance on the Tonight Show. That led to more TV. A 6-ft. 6-in., 300-lb. grizzly of a man, Pritchard danced with Judd Hirsch in an episode of Taxi, and two networks had a bidding war over him. But nothing in Hollywood interested Pritchard as much as the homeboys back at the hall. "If Mother Teresa had a kid with Jesse Ventura," says Robin Williams, who worked the same clubs as Pritchard back then...
...They sure are heavy! They're made of concrete. Wary of causing collateral damage (that's military-speak for murdered civilians) that could lead to international sympathy for Saddam Hussein, the U.S. has opted for dropping friendlier, 2,000-lb., laser-guided bombs on military targets. We've tried warm-and-fuzzy wartime techniques before, like when we blasted MANUEL NORIEGA's compound with loud rock music. Once, the CIA considered a plot to make Fidel Castro's hair fall out by putting thallium powder in his boots. The Army also fed unsuspecting U.S. soldiers with...
...clothes--chaps, and boots with spurs--every day? Sure, quitting your day job and becoming a full-time cowboy is probably out of the question. But it is possible to try your hand at tossing a perfectly circled rope through the air over the head of a 1,000-lb. cow. At the Cowboy School, based in Pearce, Ariz., Bob King teaches novice cowboys (O.K., cowpersons) old-time roping techniques, plus how to handle cattle, transform a horse into a partner and manage land and water resources. A week ($1,250) includes lodging in an authentic bunkhouse and three squares...

Then it sounded like a jet going past, as it hit me in the back like a 20-lb. sledgehammer. The waves were like five-story buildings--light green, with whitecaps on top. As they broke over me, it all turned a real royal blue, a real pretty, beautiful blue because of the light shining through...
...looking for signs of her influence as the Commander in Chief considers the plight of Puerto Rico's Vieques Island. Navy Secretary Richard Danzig says the live-ammo range there is "an important and irreplaceable site," vital to assuring Navy and Marine combat effectiveness. But after two stray 500-lb. bombs killed a security guard and injured four other civilians last April, the island's 9,300 residents declared that they had had enough. Nowhere have they found more sympathy than in New York, a city that has one-quarter the number of Puerto Ricans that Puerto Rico...
