...nursing home with asthma and emphysema. Of his dozens of hits on more than 30 albums, PayCheck, born Donald Eugene Lytle (in the '60s he took the name of a boxer KO'd by Joe Louis), was best known for the 1977 workingman's chant Take This Job and Shove It. After a battle with drugs and alcohol, bankruptcy and a prison sentence for shooting a stranger, PayCheck--whose other hits included (Don't Take Her) She's All I Got and I'm the Only Hell (Mama Ever Raised)--became a born-again Christian. His music, he once said...
...DIED. DONALD EUGENE LYTLE A.K.A. JOHNNY PAYCHECK, 64, hell-raising country singer best remembered for his 1977 working-class anthem Take This Job and Shove It; in Nashville, Tennessee. Paycheck recorded 70 albums and had more than two dozen other hit singles, including Don't Take Her,She's All I Got and Slide Off Your Satin Sheets.

Bertrand Delanoë, the mayor of Paris, has launched a campaign against traffic jams, known as bouchons (also the word for the cork of a wine bottle...
...know these closet nerds exist, because--improbable as it sounds to those who wish someone would shove a photon torpedo up the Enterprise exhaust--the enterprise still thrives. Though showing its age after 664 TV shows and a 35th birthday last year, the franchise still generates perhaps $200 million a year in revenues when you add up movie grosses, TV ad sales and what's spent on books (500 have been published), DVDs and tchotchkes (Trek ornaments are always among Hallmark's top holiday sellers). Paramount claims merchandise sales have exceeded $4 billion over Trek's lifetime; 470 people have...
...everyone, even the smartest people in the world, cannot help talking about themselves. The media may be vultures who shove tape recorders at families of murder victims, but the families almost always want to talk. Derrida didn't want to make a movie or talk to TIME or tell people that he likes jazz or that he read at a concert, but he couldn't help it. Despite the fact that he can say whatever he wants in his chosen medium--really hard-to-read books that will be read forever--he still can't stop himself at any given...
