...scripts and props, the limitless rainbow of graphical snippets used to perpetually reinvent one's avatar: photos and drawings, bonnets and six-guns, mascots and blackboards, halos and bongs. Palace vets amass hoards of props and trade them like baseball cards. Sites on the indispensable A-to-Z List of active palaces blare come-ons like HUGE PROP MALL! Collect enough props and build a cool palace, and you can stage a runway show in your own private Versailles. "Vanity pages built the Web," says Randy Farmer, co-founder of Electric Communities, the company that bought the Palace earlier this...
...other Americans, save officers of the law, who wake up each morning with a death threat over their head. Abortion providers are demonized by the radical pro-lifers, who know where they live, where their kids go to school, and proudly check off those they eliminate on a list on the Internet. But abortion providers are not equivalently lionized on the other side. Even those weeping at the funeral of Dr. Barnett Slepian, slaughtered in his kitchen in front of his family by an assassin who waited in the woods, were quick to say they were crying for the hundreds...
...words of those mourners lies a hint of current attitudes toward abortion. While the desire of a majority of Americans to keep abortion legal is steadfast, it is also passive and quiet.

The bomb that killed an off-duty police officer tore through the nurse's intestines, shattered her bones and ripped...
Having effectively curtailed the more traditional modes of criminal misbehavior (murder, mayhem, what have you), New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani now tops his most-wanted list with jaywalkers, squeegee men and a Norwegian guy who thinks he's a fly. Last week THOR ALEX KAPPFJELL, 32, raised the mayor's ire following a Big Apple airborne binge in which he parachuted from the Empire State and Chrysler buildings. After jumping from the latter, the dreadless Norseman hailed a cab and disappeared. (No word on whether he wore his seat belt.) Giuliani referred to the flights of fancy as "irresponsible...
What the disc won't do is calculate your risk of developing uterine cancer or a blood clot. (Researchers hope to add that feature in coming months, so be sure to get on the mailing list for upgrades.) Nor can it tell you when to start taking tamoxifen. Some researchers believe that taking the drug for five years will lower your risk for the rest of your life, but that hasn't been proved. "The disc can't give you all the information you need to make a decision," says Dr. Barnett Kramer, deputy director of cancer prevention...
