...thoughts, her words, her world. Courtney Love: rocker, movie star, Hard Copy moving target. She enters a suite at the Chateau Marmont. Tall, lean, with pale, muscular arms and bare, nicked-up legs. She clears her throat as she strolls in, clearing it in a louder-than-she-needed-to, public-announcement way. Courtney Love: head turner, showstopper, superstar. Her band mates in her group Hole--guitarist Eric Erlandson and bassist Melissa Auf der Maur--have been waiting, relaxing on couches. Hole has a terrific new CD out, Celebrity Skin, the band's third release. The group has gone through...

...debatable whether such a virulent speaker ought to have been allowed to gather thousands of impressionable youths in the middle of the city, especially given the lean on public resources entailed. Once the event was given the go-ahead, Giuliani ought to have worked more closely with the community to insure a safe rally with as little additional racial antagonism as possible; Muhammad himself supplied enough of that...

This much is known, however. By itself, androstenedione won't do very much for your muscles or your libido.

...this show was the 1915 Iver Johnson, with its arched frame and sculpted fuel tank (a feature that would become a near obsession with bike designers 75 years later). By the '20s and '30s, bike design was part of larger design fields. The 1923 BMW R32, with its clear, lean triangular geometry, is one of the most perfect expressions of Bauhaus sensibility ever devised. There were Art Deco machines too, with swooping exaggerated fenders, such as the early (1922) Megola Sport or the mighty, lumbering 1948 Indian Chief. The BMW and the Indian are, in fact, the poles of motorcycle...
