Female retro-bikers have more options than their manly counterparts. They can maneuver in both the pant and the skirt, but the skirt is overwhelmingly preferred. In fact, "Husam," the owner of ATA Cycle in Porter Square, purveyor of retro-bikes explained the "amazing market in Cambridge" because of the "professional women who want to wear skirts and still get around." Apparently, the older 3-speed bikes are the "only ones which allow this flexibility." Perhaps, they are the "only ones" that are within the limits of fashion. Retro-biker-ettes' hair should be cut short or pulled back into...

...screenplay. In the opening sequence Figgis has Snipes directly addressing the camera as he walks through the streets of Manhattan on his way to see Charlie. This narrative device pops up sporadically in an effort to connect the sloppy narrative strands. The script was originally written by Joe Esterzhas (purveyor of such cinematic fool's gold as Basic Instinct and the infamous Showgirls), and it shows in some places (an especially acrobatic sex scene, for instance...

Prodded by its new owner, Seagram, Iovine and partner Ted Field are remaking Interscope from a high-risk purveyor of gangsta rap into an imposing presence in rock, R. and B. and gospel, gobbling down an ever bigger slice of the $12.5 billion U.S. record market. God's Property--which went on to sell a heavenly 1 million copies three months after hitting record stores--helped slingshot Seagram's Universal Music Group last summer from fifth place to third place among the six top record companies...

...forget Johnson and Andy Pettitte, all year long the AL's most feared left-handers, a combined 0-4, with a better than 7.00 ERA. And while Seattle's bullpen was typically awful, even the mighty Mariano Rivera, purveyor of the awe-inspiring "easy gas" high-90s fastball, succeeded in blowing his tenth save by serving up Alomar's backbreaking Game 4 blast...

...wraps you up in swirls of repeated samples and drum loops. This kind of music-making may seem a bit hackneyed given the array of cookie-cutter techno groups out there, and after a first listen it seems easy enough to dismiss Mouse on Mars as just as another purveyor of boring rave music. But subsequent encounters with Autoditacker reveal a genuine musicality that contradicts this initial impression...
