...pizazz of a Vanna White. Developed by Go*USA, a tourism-industry trade group, the commercial features none other than President George Bush promoting the U.S. as a vacation paradise. Over images of rolling lawns and sandy beaches, Bush touts Hawaii, homegrown Dixieland jazz and, in an endearingly shameless display of personal preference, the wonders of Maine and Texas...
Costas' tightly formatted half time shows often allow sports figures to get away with bitter cant and shameless self-promotion. It's a gig Costas is eager to outgrow. During the Games he is determined to curtail Olympic hype, and he intends to refrain pointedly from calling every upcoming event "exciting" and every confrontation "critical." Even with the tape delays necessitated by time differences, Costas will cover events as they happen, a high-wire act that will show off his considerable ad-lib talents...

A story on forecasting failures at the National Weather Service tried to clinch its case by coaxing tears from a woman whose husband had been...
...core members of Nirvana, lead singer-guitarist Kurt Cobain and bassist Chris Novoselic, teened together in Aberdeen, Wash., and teamed up to form Nirvana in 1987 (drummer David Grohl signed on later). Both were fans of the brooding postpunk musical musings of Husker Du, as well as of the shameless theatricality of Kiss. Nirvana's first album, Bleach, was recorded in three days at a cost of $600 and, when distributed by an enterprising local label called Sub Pop, made the band's members stars on the underground circuit...
