...pink flowers illuminate the De Luxe Antique and Contemporary. A few blocks away, a ruby red couple sizzles in a clothing-store window. And across the street, Rocket Video glows brightly. This is Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, and so striking are the electric patterns stitched across the night that passing cars slow down for a better view. The attraction? Nifty new neon signs...
...suicides. Young people seem to be obsessed with not liking themselves. I don't think that what I'm trying to say is hard to understand. I don't go overboard really in any direction.

She'd be just sick if she knew it was going out to the transvestite bars." It probably looks...
...last week, Physicist Don Lind could not contain his wonder. "The streaks of light we're seeing are really spectacular stuff," he radioed to Mission Control in Houston. The shuttle, about 200 miles above the ocean south of New Zealand, was passing through the top of a green-and-pink aurora--a huge, glowing band of light generated by charged solar particles hitting the atmosphere. It was the first time that the shuttle had actually flown through an aurora...
