...true. But Crosby's early delivery has even more insistent echoes of Al Jolson's, with its declamatory style and its tendency to end on an orgasmic high note (though Bing tended to moo his glissandi, where Jolson went "mwaaa"). Apparently skeptical of the appeal of his natural baritone, he forced it up into the familiar tenor range. It took a while for him to realize that the bu-bu-bu- boos were original, natural and, to his widening audience, deeply satisfying.

...hours since I began playing the infernal video game. I can't stop, and I'm starting to babble. That happens whenever I encounter something that smashes my notion of what's possible in the digital realm--when I first saw the Web, for instance, or entered an online MOO or got a glimpse of streaming video.

However, Tara's best-known opponent didn't know Sanshou from moo shu. Before she assumed her national title, Tara was scheduled to fight in a competition televised on Pay-Per-View. 24 hours before the competition began, Tara's opponent, intimidated by her formidable skill and size, refused to fight. After scrambling to find Tara a new opponent, the network summoned Dallas, the American Gladiator who also happens to be the two-time Tough Woman World Champion.
