...suicide bomb at a gas station just inside Israel that set in motion Phase 1 of Sharon's plan. A group of young Israelis gathered there each morning to wait for the bus. A young Palestinian, a student at Bir Zeit University near Ramallah, approached the kids with his leather jacket zipped up, despite the heat of the morning. Beneath the jacket was a girdle of explosives. When he detonated, he took two Israeli youngsters with him. It was the third explosion--and two other bombs were defused--within Israel's borders in 24 hours. There had been so many...

In 1980 when Lauren Hutton starred as a rich New York housewife in American Gigolo...

Popstars' treatment of the young synergettes makes Making the Band look like a Bill Moyers special; it cheerfully depicts its women as a hungry, hardworking pop juggernaut in leather pants, portraying them with all the hard-nosed pugnaciousness of a Tiger Beat cover. Producers Scott A. Stone and David G. Stanley say there simply hasn't been much fighting or failure to show among the final five members, though Stanley also says, "We sold this as a show that...
