Although emotional mother-son scenes are still rare in the porn industry, the conflation of mainstream entertainment and hard-core films is not. As porn-video rentals and sales have steadily grown into a $4.2 billion-a-year business (nearly 14% of all video transactions and more than a quarter of the home-video industry's revenue), the mainstream media have started to cash in on the growing celebrity of hard-core performers. Howard Stern, Jerry Springer and the E! channel regularly feature porn stars as guests on their TV shows, while film directors like Spike Lee and John Frankenheimer...
Then the White House went dark. There's nothing so rare at the Executive Mansion as a quiet Saturday, when people can relax and Presidents actually get to play. But this was a whole new kind of quiet--hollow and grim. Clinton was looking, simultaneously, at the most dangerous prospect of his public life and the most devastating chapter of his private one. He canceled his plans for the weekend to prepare for his testimony; Hillary went into seclusion.

Fortunately, he swallowed it instead of aspirating it into his lungs, where it could have caused serious damage. After that he decided to stop putting anything...
...beast's role in maintaining harmony between heaven and humankind. The Chickasaw called the feline "the cat of God." And for centuries, puma concolor (a.k.a. mountain lion, cougar, panther, catamount) avoided people. It was an elusive presence: a tail vanishing into the bush, a distant snarl, the rare but startling...
Well, prepare to meet your maker. Suddenly it seems humans are encountering mountain lions from Texas to Canada. Just last week rangers took the rare step of closing down part of the 25,000-acre Cuyamaca Rancho State Park, 40 miles east of San Diego, so federal trackers and state game wardens could kill a mountain lion that stalked three hikers in recent days. At one point, the lion even swiped at one of them, but it missed. And it gets scarier than that. In May, Mary Jane Cooder was taking pictures during a walk in Big Bend National Park...
