...fireman, the pealing of a call-up bell is at once a summons to action, an intimation of danger, and perhaps a foreshadowing of death. Even after 26 years in the job, Tony Collis still gets an adrenaline jolt when the bell begins to ring in central London's Manchester Square Fire Station. But when the familiar clanging began at 9 a.m. last Friday, Collis felt only emptiness. Instead of running for the gear and piling into their red fire engines, Collis and his colleagues strolled somberly to the front of the ornate 19th century red-brick building...
...world where bad means good, phones ring silently and pink is the new orange, things get pretty confusing. Harvard recently hired an ombudsman, and FM readers deserve the same independent conflict resolution resources as Summers et. al. Scott Bromley is an objective mediator to examine life’s most troubling dilemmas...
...message problem is endemic to Democrats. The party boasts a big tent, but that tent doubles as a big boxing ring, and in the weeks before the election every genus of Democrat--from the Southern pro-gun, antiabortion members of Congress to the Northern pro-choice, gun-control liberals in the Senate--duked it out over how to counter the President's agenda.

One or two of the Windsors' hired spin doctors have shown signs of getting this - since Diana's death they have worked with some success to rehabilitate the reputations of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles. But when the latest crisis hit and Charles appointed...
...lovely and depressing that one could have chosen so many exemplary horror films from the old days, so few today. The current crop all want to be ?The Ring? or its even paler Hong Kong knockoff, ?The Eye,? another big hit that is soon to be remade in Hollywood. Note to moguls: Forget the newer Asian ghost stories. Think about redoing ?Devil Fetus? with state-of-your-art special effects, or ?Red to Kill? with Benicio Del Toro as the doctor and Katie Holmes as the imperiled girl. And don?t worry about making it NC-17 - the video will...
