Neurologist David Hershleder is a workaholic with a runaway wife and a terrible historical burden. His mother, a Holocaust survivor, is driven mad by the latest big lie of anti-Semitism: that Hitler's genocide factories at Auschwitz and elsewhere are fabrications by Zionist propagandists. Novelist Schulman's accomplishment is to guide Dr. Hershleder to the source of his free-floating anguish and then discreetly join the enormity of his legacy to his domestic woes. The author also leaves the reader in a state of disturbed speculation. If Holocaust revisionism becomes accepted history, how long will it take for Hitler...
Soul Asylum is just as known for its one smash hit, "Runaway Train," as its lead singer, David Pirner, is known for having once dated actress Winona Ryder. At the height of Soul Asylum's popularity, "Runaway Train" was so famous that the band was invited to perform it at the White House for President Clinton. Sadly, after its grand entrance onto the music scene, Soul Asylum has not been able to produce another best-seller: David Pirner and Winona Ryder have long since broken up, and the band seemed to fade into obscurity...
...bitter than "I Will Still Be Laughing," is still worth-while. "Draggin the Lake" escapes the cookiecutter emotions found in "Close," "No Time for Waiting" and others.

Unfortunately, the song tumbles down the path towards over-clicheed lyrics after its stunning start. The music still manages to be catchy but the song just...
...accident that Pixar, the computer-animation company, sold its first shares to the public in 1995 while its movie Toy Story was a runaway box-office hit. Or that hockey's Florida Panthers made the move a year later, fresh from their first appearance in the Stanley Cup finals. Nor is it a fluke that Wall Street powerhouse Goldman Sachs, with the market at a historic high, is now mulling an initial public offering of its own. In the business of making your money mine, which is what any IPO is about, timing is everything...
JERUSALEM: Just for a moment, the kinder, gentler Newt returned. Meeting with Yasser Arafat Wednesday, Speaker Gingrich managed to put his runaway rhetoric on hold long enough to announce the American delegation was here "for the Palestinian children." That didn't mean his less-than-diplomatic statements -- describing Madeleine Albright as an "agent for the Palestinians," and Jerusalem as "the united and eternal capital of Israel" -- had been forgotten. TIME has learned that the U.S. embassy in Israel had to urge Arafat to appear in the same room as Gingrich. And while they were meeting, the Palestinian Legislative Council issued...
