...their heels by describing their hardball political tactics. Lieut. Colonel Oliver North emerged a hero of the right during the Iran-contra investigation. And when Harold Ickes faced down Senator Al D'Amato during his Whitewater probe, you almost expected one of these two tough New Yorkers to snarl, "Hey, you want a piece of me? Let's take this outside!" These warrior witnesses convince me that there is no good strategic reason for anyone to sit and listen to his character being trashed by committee members with their share of flaws.

...Swedish band, the Cardigans, it resides in the encounter of contrary instincts--the sweet, seductive purr of joyful music and the dark, cruel snarl of painful obsessions. Remember "Lovefool," the song from a couple of years ago that burst off the Romeo + Juliet soundtrack and was suddenly, like the fixated ex-lover it depicted, lurking stubbornly everywhere you looked?

Things got so bad that Boeing halted its 737 and 747 lines for nearly a month last October to clear up the snarl. The time-out eased congestion at the huge 747 factory in nearby Everett, Wash., which had raised its production from 3.5 planes a month to 4.
