...case of the bombing of the disco in Berlin, the counter-evidence is particularly strong: e.g. the unlikelihood of Qaddafi ordering a terrorist act against a nightclub frequented by Muslims and black U.S. GIs, Libya's explicit denial of compliance in the action and condemnation of it, and the fact that a German neo-Nazi organization claimed responsibility shortly afterwards...

Malcolm White, who has been known to leave a trail of hot-tamale wrappers wherever in Mississippi his notions have nudged him, set out in search of blues players the other day.

Theatrical Agent Tony Rivers came right to the point: "I can't send you out as Joan Molinsky. You've got to change your name." The struggling nightclub comic did not waste a second: "Okay, I'll be Joan Rivers." The single-minded doctor's daughter from Larchmont, N.Y., helped herself to her agent's name, competitors' jokes, employers' postage stamps and free hotel rooms until her big break came on the Tonight show...
