...boys had left a trail. They had a small doorknob collection in a kitchen drawer, not to mention closets stuffed with dirt-encrusted lacrosse sticks and even a skateboard. In the closet down-stairs, we found a piece of paper with "The Game Guy's Prayer" on it, reading "Dear God: Help me to be a sport in this little game of life. I don't ask for any easy place in the line-up; play me anywhere you need me...." Another sign on the wall read: "Many people miss opportunity when it comes disguised as hard work." Their jock...
...role of the barbarian. "The West is using religion as a means to influence the minds of the Russian people," said senior communist Viktor Ilyukhin, chair of the Duma security committee, "in fact as a means to control the people." The law has human rights activists squealing, not to mention Pope John Paul II, who called personally on Yeltsin earlier this week to reject a law that is aimed squarely at his upstart Russian flock.

Promoter Don King called it "the biggest event of all time," and while it may not have been that, it was a classic rematch between the good Holyfield, who wore the biblical inscription PHIL. 4: 13 on his trunks...
...What quite likely happened," says Weaver, "is that people who saw these dummies mistook them for aliens." And, he notes, because no mention of aliens was made until 1978, those "who were interviewed were trying to recall events that took place 30 years earlier." Weaver blames UFOlogists for "linking" these sightings, which occurred after 1947, to the original Roswell incident...
