...slick, shiny, vintage Corvette that ultimately led investigators to the suspect. A prostitute told police she had seen the killer's youngest victim, Jennifer Joseph, in the car nine days before her body was found. Joseph, a striking Asian-American teenager from Tacoma, had dropped out of high school only three months earlier. The hair of a Caucasian male was found on a towel near her decomposed corpse. Working through 6,000 tips associated with more than a dozen victims, police eventually compiled a database of all Corvette owners in Washington and Idaho and another of all Corvettes stopped...
...trailer for herself. Like the ads for a summer action flick, her public persona promises slick, sweaty thrills: At the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards she wore a tiny purple pastie over her otherwise exposed left breast; in the latest Vibe she poses like a plastic blow-up doll, her lips parted suggestively to form a moist pink oval. Unfortunately, behind the getups and the come-ons, the reality is grim: Lil' Kim's new rap album, Notorious KIM (Queen Bee/Undeas/Atlantic), is a bomb.

...last Tuesday, as I finished a lovely still life of Liquid Paper and Rubber Band Ball, I missed Jovon.

But though slick lawyering may give Clinton the opportunity to punt the issue of whether to scrap the ABM treaty into the next presidency, the Russians watch CNN, too - and they know that the concrete President Clinton would order poured on a frostbitten Alaskan island isn't for a barbecue...
...there anything in Hollywood more frightening than the possibility of more Flintstones sequels? E! hopes so, having chosen a sort of Tinseltown Twilight Zone for its first fictional series. Coming from the home of snide, shoestring productions like Talk Soup, this noirish anthology is surprisingly slick in look and earnest in tone. It sometimes earns a good satiric laugh, but mostly it's dead serious, more so than the corny dialogue ("A lot of dirty little things get whispered in the night") and predictable plots deserve. As for making show biz scary, isn't that why we have...
