...TONY ALBERT, 27, artist After dinner at Kafe Meze, tel: (61-7) 3844 1720, I'd go to the Lychee Lounge, tel: (61-7) 3846 0544. It's a dimly lit, moody place. After that, I might go nearby to the Rumpus Room, tel: (61-7) 3846 1323, which is a great place to just chill out. Occasionally late at night I'll go to one of the nightclubs in Fortitude Valley - probably to Family, tel: (61-7) 3852 5000, which is a very high-energy nightclub on McLachlan Street...
...America's fantasy life. Yes, the movies had already lost about one-third of their audience to the new medium, but that had to be, in Hollywood's arrogant opinion, a temporary thing. How could a little box, projecting flickering black-and-white images in the corner of the rumpus room, replace the romance of movies on a big screen? It seems likely that Reeves thought he could hide in plain sight on the contemptible small screen - do his part, collect his paycheck and go on dreaming about getting a still bigger break.

...Munich's nomination for Best Picture was no sure thing, because the film had managed to cause a rumpus on the left and the right. The main blasts came from Israelophiles who found the movie's anguished semi-evenhandedness a slur on the memory of a modern min-Holocaust.

The ascendancy of Hamas (which Spielberg can't be blamed for) won't help. Neither will the film's middling...
Fifteen minutes before the service starts, 100 middle schoolers are already squeezed into a basement rumpus room. The weekly worship for middle schoolers at Grace Chapel in the Boston suburb of Lexington, Mass., is called the Edge, a fitting name for a gathering that appears to be on the brink of anarchy. In one corner girls pouring orange juice giggle contagiously as the juice spills on the table, carpet and doughnuts. In another corner a number of boys are exploring ways to injure themselves with folded metal chairs--like swinging them at one another. A soccer ball zips past...
...Ministry officials and the Prime Minister's advisers: "So what you may end up with are much too clear-cut conclusions that lose the nuances." Fogh Rasmussen admitted the controversy raised doubts about his credibility, and ordered excerpts from the Danish intelligence to be released this week. But the rumpus won't stop there. "We must have an inquiry to disclose the foundation for the Prime Minister's statement that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction," says former Defense Minister Jan Tr?jborg of the opposition Social Democrats party. Grevil is not out of trouble either - he faces criminal charges...
