Bleeder of the Pack American Psycho, the latest novel by brat-pack golden boy Bret Easton Ellis, 26, contained detailed descriptions of female mutilations that outraged women staff members at Simon & Schuster, Ellis' publisher. Did that give S&S second thoughts? Nope. But shortly before the book was to hit the stores, bad press notices finally persuaded the firm to scrap the project and forfeit the reported $300,000 advance...

The consensus used to be that they could not, and for decades scientists concentrated on more powerful kinds of radiation, like X rays, that pack sufficient wallop to knock electrons out of the molecules that make up the human body. Such "ionizing" radiations have been clearly linked to increased cancer risks, and there are regulations to control emissions...

Simms presides over a varied offense that sets up his passing game with ball control on the ground. Defenders face bruising off-tackle smashes by 12-year veteran running back Ottis Anderson (who seeks to become the first N.F.L. player to gain 1,000 yds. in each of three decades) and sweeps and quick openers by jackrabbit...
