...third album from the hip-hop-tinged metal band is silly, swaggering and obnoxious--and those are its virtues. Korn's music isn't subtle: the volume on each song, just as in This Is Spinal Tap, is usually turned up to 11, and too many of the songs are simply numbing sonic assaults. But a few tracks grind along successfully, most notably Children of the Korn, in which rapper Ice Cube makes an engaging appearance. And the band's goofy audacity and Zeitgeist-savvy sense of humor are, at points, captivating. It's hard to completely dislike...
...severe. More commonly, patients come in complaining that they have cracked their teeth against the rings and barbells in their tongues. Dentists Wayne Maibaum and Vincent Margherita of Warwick, N.Y., report the case of a 19-year-old woman who got into the habit of idly biting her metal tongue bar and one day bit down on it so hard she chipped off a piece of one of her molars. "In that particular case, all I had to do was grind the tooth and smooth it down," Maibaum says. "But if the fracture had gone down into the pulp...
...last week presiding over a makeshift command center in the partly wrecked railway station bus park across from the embassy. Her task: to supervise 215 FBI agents in both capitals, along with explosives experts from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, as they sort through concrete rubble, twisted metal, bits of glass--every scrap of debris that could yield the vital physical evidence that might identify who was responsible for the senseless violence...
Bwaku was checking vehicles as they approached the metal bar that blocked entry to the back parking lot and the gated ramp down into the embassy's underground garage. Suddenly a truck he identified as a 3.5-ton Mitsubishi Canter sped into the access road leading to the barrier, only to be halted by a car exiting from the other direction. Suspicious, said Bwaku, of the truck's "terrible speed," he lowered the barrier. A man in a plaid shirt and baggy pants jumped out from the passenger side and marched toward him. "Open the gate," he demanded, and when...
...bomb was not, as some reported, on that water truck. It detonated somewhere behind the truck, leaving a crater 9 ft. wide and 4 ft. deep. Metal bits, perhaps from the mystery carrier but also from two dozen cars near the embassy, were scattered widely. A witness told the FBI she saw a man with a small black device, like a remote control for a detonator, climb out of a car near the embassy and look repeatedly at his watch. Evidence to date suggests the bomb may have been in a light truck parked behind the water carrier...
