...final moments of last Tuesday's American Airlines Flight 1420 were a ride through white-knuckle hell. The skies near Little Rock National Airport were being thrashed by a top-of-the-scale, level-6 thunderstorm. The plane and its human cargo--139 passengers and six crew members--were being tossed around by winds up to 80 m.p.h. And in the cockpit, the pilot and co-pilot were getting two separate wind-shear alerts. When the wheels of the twin-engine Super MD-80 finally touched down, it was on a runway made slick by heavy rain and marble-size...
...prequel. It's set a long time ago. It features monster-like creatures. Not Star Wars--it's The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas. "Fred and Barney are students at Bronto Crane Academy," says MARK ADDY (the chubby guy in The Full Monty), who, with the help of two dialect coaches, is playing Fred.

Much of Martin's international success is due to his ability to depart from typical Latin-rock or salsa music and to blend popular rock sounds with Latin jazz. His music incorporates lyrics in both Spanish and English. This exotic new hybrid of music captures festive rhythms and tempos similar to Brazilian samba in familiar beats that can be danced to. Martin also demonstrates an uncanny versatility when he sings slower-tempo Latin ballads in the "danceable" rumba and bolero rhythms. GUILLERMO SAMUEL YOUNG San Jose, Calif...
...late-'90s rock musical Rent, with its theme of pre-millennial angst, was written in that crescendo of intensity. It asks in its most famous refrain how best to measure time--"in daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee?" Later in the musical, the reason for measuring is articulated: "You're living in America at the end of the millennium...where it's like the Twilight Zone...
