Right now the idea is just a gleam in the eyes of U.S. officials in Sri Lanka. But if they have their way, the snake-devouring mongoose, celebrated in the 1894 Kipling classic Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, may eventually replace the German shepherd as the drug sniffer of choice at some international airports. The U.S. embassy in Colombo is so intrigued with the idea that it has asked the State Department for $10,000 to fund a mongoose training school at the Colombo...
Your description of Boston Criminal Lawyer Rikki Klieman's attempt to polish up the image of her client, the alleged kingpin in a truck-hijacking operation, was disturbing. If women lawyers have to cozy up to clients in order to con a jury into an acquittal, then feminism is making no progress...

But most of the credit must go to the illustrator-magician who makes 90-year-old stories...
...Ouch!) to poke wicked fun at their most faddish excesses; similar pranks have been pulled on the psychedelic animation of Yellow Submarine. Unfortunately, the show's creators have not lavished nearly so much care on their casting. The four Rutles (Idle, Innes, John Halsey, Rikki Fataar) are virtually indistinguishable, and their performances are morbidly charmless...
