...slightly callous to criticism, getting so much of it from octogenarian TIME readers and women I've slept with, though, oddly, never when those Venn diagrams overlap. And Zalaznick's criticisms were entirely accurate, except for the part about my editor, who is a total dimwit and barely even reads these things...
...This year's skits included "Chocolat Tiger, Hidden Bon-Bon" with the octogenarian "Chocolat" producer David Brown hamming it as Brown Young Fat; a revised "Chocolat" with director Roland Joffe ("The Killing Fields" and MTV's "Undressed") as an outlandish Satan (wearing toy-store $3 devil horns made out of crimson satin) seducing Marisa Tomei and Christina Applegate. James Woods showed his appreciation for the genre by dragging it up as "Erin Chocovitch," displaying what he conceded to me were the spindliest legs in the business. His beautiful young date seemed shell-shocked. One surmised that she'd perhaps seen...
Japan's Finance Minister, KIICHI MIYAZAWA, is regarded as the island of calm in the chaotic sea that passes for Japan's government.

The yen quickly slid to 20-month lows. Within days, Mori revealed to government insiders that he intends...

These days, the ruthless dictator of yore inspires more pity than terror, particularly now that the veneer of international respectability of his 17-year reign of terror has been stripped away...
Most of contemporary music's great sex symbols lodge themselves in our hearts via steamy videos on MTV, not hard-hitting reportage on CBS. But The Girl (She's Mine), a single featuring the vocals of octogenarian 60 Minutes anchorman MIKE WALLACE, seems likely to earn a place beside Sisqo's Thong Song as one of our age's erotic masterpieces. The song was written by Pat Harris, an unsigned recording artist who goes by the name "Pat. [Patperiod]." Harris, fortuitously enough, is also a researcher on CBS's still-ticking Sunday-night newsmagazine. After overhearing Wallace singing around...
