...front. Upon her return, a guy in front of me complained about the slow service, and she snarled right back at him. Like the rest of us, she wasn't in the mood to be reminded about awful the experience had become. You want a snack with that insult, sir? That will...
...tabloid for invasion of privacy after it posted video footage of him involved in what it frothily described as a "depraved Nazi-style orgy in a torture dungeon." Mosley admitted to participating in the orgy with five hookers but denied any Nazi overtones. The son of 1930s fascist Sir Oswald Mosley and Nazi sympathizer Lady Diana Mitford testified that, in fact, he finds Nazism unerotic. "All my life, I have had hanging over me my antecedents, my parents, and the last thing I want to do in some sexual context is be reminded of it," Mosley said...
...limbered their machine guns with gasoline. A sergeant in Lieut. Colonel Raymond Davis' battalion ''reached down into the snow and pulled out of a hole a solid chunk of ice that was a Chinese soldier.'' When the officer asked if the man was dead, the sergeant replied, ''No, sir, his eyes are moving.''

Artur Schnabel, piano, with Sir Malcom Sergeant conducting the London Symphony and London Philharmonic orchestras (Arabesque, three CDs, sold separately). Schnabel, who died in 1951, was an unlikely cult hero. Physically, he was unprepossessing: a short, stocky man with a walrus mustache and stubby fingers that, when they were not at the keyboard, habitually clutched...
...crowd's breath away with Roxanne and Message in a Bottle. In Los Angeles, Live Aid's Bob Geldof, still blissfully unaware that he was about to be named a Knight of the British Empire, made a surprise appearance with Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. (Don't call him Sir Bob, please. Because he is not British, he'll just be Mr. Geldof, Boomtown Rat, K.B.E.) But at almost every concert the fans belonged to U2, as Bono and The Edge ripped out New Year's Day and Sunday, Bloody Sunday. The girls threw lingerie, the guys waved Irish flags...
