...park's attractions, It's Tough to Be a Bug and a 3-D Muppets show, were imported from Florida. Even Soarin' over California, a simulated hang-gliding ride over the ocean, mountains and deserts of California, which promises to be one of the park's biggest hits, can easily and cheaply be reinvented in a few years when the experience starts feeling...
...highlight divisions among the family members. In London late last week, Swire and other British relatives not only renewed calls for a full public inquiry into the Lockerbie bombing, but also raised nagging doubts about the case. "Why did Pan Am 103 crash on Lockerbie, not into the Atlantic Ocean?" Swire asked. With that he pointed to a fundamentally different hypothesis for the bombing, based on two events earlier in 1988.

It's Chenia's husband who's having the good time, romping with his mistress and trying...
