...captain and announced they had fallen in love. Last month a male and a female crew member videotaped themselves having sex in a ship's compartment. The man was caught after he showed the tape to other sailors. "We have taken the focus away from being a potent fighting ship and made the Ike a showboat," grumbled a lieutenant. "We succeeded in this deployment, but would we succeed in combat...
...album also features two very sucessful and quite different instrumental tunes. The first of these, "Factory Concerto (Remix)," by The Pietasters is a brief, but potent piece. With its heavy drums and trumpet, the song's rhythmic intensity builds extremely effectively, creating a fun and somewhat eerie mood.

At the time, Gratia's own .38-cal. was lying in the trunk of her car because...
...movies are thought to be less risky these days than their less costly competitors. Those stars, those production values, those clichas can bail you out in foreign box-office and home video, which, unlike the domestic theatrical business, are truly mass (i.e., highly conservative) markets. Smaller movies, starring less potent performers, on the other hand, offer no downside protection. They may represent a smaller investment, but they also pose the risk of near total loss...
