...look beyond the eccentricities of Marshall Applewhite's creed is not to condone their odd assumptions--any more than one condones by saying, "I don't know how she could marry that spacey pagan." It is simply to acknowledge ignorance. "There is no one alive today," Arnold Toynbee once said, "who knows enough to say with confidence whether one religion has been greater than all others." And though the Heaven's Gaters' doctrine may seem as weird to us as ours apparently seemed to them, the wider tragedy of the cruel suicides would be if our own faith prevented...
...auctioning, a lot depends on who's wielding the hammer. More people probably want to cuddle up to Elle Macpherson than to ROSIE O'DONNELL, but at an auction for the Children's Safety Project at New York City's Greenwich House, which O'Donnell co-gaveled with KEVIN SPACEY, the talk-show host's bears sold for $5,800, more than 20 times what the model's fetched.

Jackson's face at any of his many stages of pop-eyed rage. Other touches involve the bathing of a Klan member tete-a-tete in ethereal light or Jake's haggard face in the lined shade of half-open blinds...
...decent man, and if ever a homicide was justifiable, the vengeance he wreaks on his child's tormentors is it. On the other hand, Hailey is black, the jury is entirely white, the venue is a small town deep in the Southern boondocks, and the prosecutor (Kevin Spacey at his snakiest) is of course politically ambitious, therefore legalistically relentless...
