...console, calling for pilots to flip a switch after each task is completed. Copilot Origel has told investigators that he recalled reading the checklist while Buschmann flew the jet, but investigators still haven't been satisfied about why certain steps -- first and foremost the deployment of the wing spoilers -- apparently weren't performed. A mechanical postmortem may help them decide; the wrecked plane got the Flight 800 treatment on Tuesday and was moved to a hangar for autopsy. The plane's spoiler system will be removed and sent to NTSB labs for testing that, in a few weeks, could definitively...

...third track, "Anakin's Theme," is one of the finest examples of Williams' genius in film music. Anakin Skywalker, of course, will become the Darth Vader of the original films (if that's a spoiler for you, then you probably don't care anyway). Having to work backward from the other three Star Wars soundtracks, Williams has embedded the familiar notes of "Darth Vader's Theme" (also known as the "Imperial March") within the slow, thoughtful piece.

...Aerobie 1257 feet--a bit far for a catch don'tch ya think? The Aerobie comes in three bitchin' neon colors, each providing a wicked flashback to the late 80s. On a lark, spoil yourself with the new Aerobie Superdisc ($10.99) with its "soft cushioned edge" and its dope "spoiler for stable flights...

...want, but it is not what the people doing the fighting and killing say they are after. The ethnic Albanians agree on little but a vow to settle for nothing less than full independence. U.S. diplomats insist that the K.L.A. rebels "will get the message" not to play the spoiler. Milosevic declares he will not negotiate with the K.L.A.
