Tadrous and Al-Ississ criticize the opening of the tunnel for "undermining the Islamic character of the shrine." Such hysterically paranoid comments have typified the reactions of many. While the tunnel is the literal foundation of the Jewish religion, it is of no relevance to Islam or to the Arab people. Furthermore, there is absolutely no threat whatsoever to Al-Aksa Mosque. Even if this was the intention of the Israeli government, which clearly it is not, aren't there any better ways of "undermining the Islamic character of the shrine" than excavating a 2,000 year-old tunnel alongside...
...responsible for introducing crack cocaine to the ghetto. This idea is, of course, a hardy perennial among conspiracy theorists, who blame every plague that afflicts the black community on racist government plots. But this time it is not so easy to write off the talk as paranoid mumbo jumbo for two reasons: it springs, for once, from a credible source and is being spread via a new black lane on the information superhighway...
...though, Bloom sacrificed everything. Early in their relationship, for instance, the author told Bloom that he refused to share a home with Anna, and the girl, 18, was promptly kicked out.

It was Death Row president Marion ("Suge") Knight who was driving his black BMW after the Tyson fight, with Shakur standing up through the sun roof. Four men rolled up in a white Cadillac, fired about...
...today, could put your company out of business tomorrow. Andy Grove, the Intel CEO who led his microprocessor company through a series of similarly wrenching changes a decade ago, has distilled the essence of competing in a high-tech world down to a single sentence: "Only the paranoid survive." He's right. Uncertainty is the watchword of the new digital age. That's why Microsoft is throwing everything it's got at Netscape. And that's why, despite that onslaught, Netscape still has a chance...
