...there such a thing as writer's unblock? King, who works virtually nonstop, regularly churning out two and sometimes three books a year, provides a clue about how he is able to manage such a forest-clearing output. In his introduction to the first volume of The Green Mile, he writes, "Most of the second chapter was written during a rain delay at Fenway Park!" Throw in a couple of pitching changes for revisions, and Anne Rice had better start watching her back on the hardcover best-seller list...
...downside was a pointless parade of contributing pundits, who appeared in mix-and-match threesomes and contributed little but air-filling babble, and the channel's nonstop, near evangelical promotion of the Internet, where it has a Website. The partnership of NBC and Microsoft holds the promise of creating a hybrid form of news delivery on both TV and the Internet, but this Website has so far been disappointing...
...Lesson from the Gulf War Waller also reports that the CIA's decade-old Counter-Intelligence Center in Langley has been working almost nonstop since the crash. Agents within the 200-plus force are relying on what they call "all-source intelligence," in which they mobilize a vast array of covert spies, police investigators, foreign intelligence agents, sophisticated computers and satellites.

CIA sources tell Waller that this method...
...faith in healing [MEDICINE, June 24] only highlights what we in India have known for thousands of years: the ordinary human body has almost unlimited powers and wonderful potential.

All these feats were achieved by ordinary people just like you and me. The overwhelming majority of humans do not realize what they possess, and hence the power lies dormant. It is only when faith...
From the first image--Renton jumps over the camera and hurtles down the street as store detectives chase after him, Iggy Pop's Lust for Life hammers the sound track, and Renton delivers his "Choose life" speech--the film is a nonstop visual and aural assault. Slo-mo, fast-mo, a hallucinogenic editing pace and the thick music of Scottish accents mean that you'll have to cram for Trainspotting. Attention must be paid, and will be rewarded with the scabrous savor of the movie's lightning intelligence. The subject is heroin, but the style is speed. This film...
