...sleep, perchance to dream... that is, if you've planned ahead and taken your sleeping pills hours before you want to nod off. For insomnia suffers, the problem with most prescription sleeping aids is that they take a long time to work and a long time to wear off. That's changed with FDA approval of Sonata, a new prescription sleeping pill. People who used Sonata in clinical trials were usually snoozing within 30 minutes of taking the drug, and reported little grogginess upon waking. Drug maker American Home Products sees Sonata as a direct competitor to the current leading...
...problem with renegade horror, of course, is that it quickly gets domesticated and respectable. Directors such as Hooper and Raimi went on to big budgets and big stars. Horror villains such as Michael Myers and Freddy Krueger became kids' Halloween costumes. The Blair Witch will undoubtedly reappear in a sequel. But nothing will match those first bone-chilling, totally unexpected nights in the woods...
...bill. Today Al Gore's lone challenger for the Democratic nomination is still speaking out against that reform.

Problem is, it's hard for Bradley to draw stark contrasts with Gore, who was cheered wildly by the Rainbow on Saturday. Bradley said he wouldn't try to reverse welfare reform but would look for ways to "improve" the bill. That's what Clinton and Gore have already done...
...visitors just aren't polite. A sign that read WELCOME TO BURKITTSVILLE--FOUNDED IN 1824 was stolen, and someone left a candle burning in the cemetery. "That wouldn't have been a problem, except for the drought," says Sergeant Tom Winebrenner of the Frederick County sheriff's office, which fields 30 to 40 calls a day about the film. "Many still think it's a true story. When you tell them the truth, they think there's a conspiracy and a cover...
