...crowd knows him of old, Koernke does not run through his standard talk: the universal-conspiracy theory featuring the U.N.; the Rockefellers; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms; Bill and Hillary Clinton and others. He dispenses with apocalyptic visions: the hundreds of thousands of foreign troops on American soil, waiting; Americans enslaved and implanted with microchips. Nor does he need to recapitulate the only hope: to create secret places and hoard guns, pistols as well as others; to take no offensive posture, but to train for war he sees as nearly inevitable; to somehow cause the Federal Government...
...marketing experts have their own theories about why people want to sink so much money into the soil. A garden is certainly a nice thing to have, a place to unplug from a bruising, harried world into someplace ripe and unwired. For cocooning boomers, gardening presents the perfect stay-at-home hobby. It's environmentally correct, medically sound, and promises a nice return on investment.

...week after the State Department proposed normalizingrelations with Hanoi, officials there today said President Le Duc Anh would become the first Vietnamese head of state to set foot on U.S. soil since the Vietnam War.

...cheerful, knowing way, the hit movie Casper mines this same dark soil. On its face, it is a high-gloss update of the "friendly ghost" who starred in 55 cartoons between 1946 and 1959, a long-running comic book and a short-lived 1979 TV series. Director Brad Silberling mixes rude slapstick for the kids with pop-culture cues for their parents, including gag cameos by Clint Eastwood, Mel Gibson and Ghostbusters' Dan Aykroyd. The movie even has its own theme-park ride, a kind of human car wash. All jolly enough. But in its haunted heart, Casper is another...
...first the 500 Missouri residents polled responded positively to the move until polltakers suggested that an accident there could be more deadly than Times Beach, the Missouri town vacated 12 years ago because of its dioxin-laced soil. Suddenly, the pollsters found opponents outnumbering supporters nearly 2 to 1. Although labeled "privileged and confidential," copies of the $5,000 telephone survey are mysteriously ending up in the hands of reporters and environmentalists in both Alabama and Missouri...
