...lungs will be in worse shape when I cross the Atlantic again, but so will my arteries. On my second night in Budapest, I digested a traditional Hungarian meal of cabbage stuffed with meat accompanied by a small black sausage, a slice of pork and a hunk of fat from an undetermined animal. The entire dish was sitting in deep red oil half-an-inch thick, and the cabbage was topped with sour cream...
...remember that there is not a page of American history, of which we are proud, that was authored by a chronic complainer or prophet of despair. We are doers. We have a responsibility, as others have had in theirs, not to be prisoners of history, but to shape history; a responsibility to fill the role of pathfinder, and to build with others a global network of purpose and law that will protect our citizens, defend our interests, preserve our values and bequeath to future generations a legacy as proud as the one we honor today...
...including the one that ostensibly occurred in 1947 on the Plains of San Agustin. One viewer of that show, Gerald Anderson, responded quickly to an 800 number flashed on the screen, protesting that the re-enactment of the event was inaccurate.

A good time to jump in, given the impending passage of the federal Telecommunications Act of 1996, which ordered the Baby Bell phone companies to end their monopolies of local service. Now Bryan is trying to outsprint other...
Unfortunately, on their sophomore CD, The Colour and the Shape (Roswell/ Capitol), Foo Fighters never breaks out of the label "promising," which starts to sound more like a burden than a compliment the second time around. The songs on the new album dwell mainly on how relationships fall apart, a subject that's been dealt with in pop songs ever since pop songs began, and Foo Fighters fails to contribute any new insights. On one song, Up in Arms, Grohl actually sings, "I cannot forget you, girl." It's hard to believe he can offer up a toothless lyric like...
