...Academy Awards managed to pass into history without any significant tasteless, or truly memorable, moments. BJORK did lay an egg on the red carpet, and we gazed upon an uncharacteristically lucid BOB DYLAN, his majestic cragginess beamed via satellite from Australia. But most of the surreal celebrity high jinks were reserved for the Vanity Fair postparty at Mortons, where a single terrorist bomb could have instantly made Drew Carey the most powerful man in show business. At the bash, TOM CRUISE clung to his publicist, and Calista Flockhart, Lucy Liu and Lara Flynn Boyle formed the world's skinniest posse...
...ANTONIN SCALIA APPOINTED BY Ronald Reagan (1986) The Court's most irascible Justice, Scalia is famous for his lucid prose and judicial independence. His rulings are based on the "plain meaning" of the Constitution - one reason he cares so much about Article II's deference of election power to state legislatures...
...That's pretty much what the Gore team, led by the rumpled and disarmingly lucid superlawyer David Boies, was asking for.

Too bad for Democrats there's a 22nd Amendment that keeps Clinton from running again. In a speech after the debates, Clinton gave a far more lucid rebuttal than Gore--and without the sighing. His job-approval rating surpasses Ronald Reagan's in his final days...
...praise heaped upon 1997's OK Computer reached the asymptotic limit. No longer bored with pedestrian first-world existence, Radiohead's third album conveyed disgust with the selfish misuse of technology for self-improvement. Lucid lullabies ("Airbag," "No Surprises"), Kafkaesque visions ("Paranoid Android"), obligatory condemnatory ballads ("Karma Police," "Lucky") and a pleasingly incongruous-yet-wicked-good rock song ("Electioneering") assembled a musical line-up so good that one instantly forgave the band for the tiresome poem "Fitter Happier" occupying the seventh track of the album. The unanimous acclaim OK Computer received and subsequent appearance on every music magazine...
