Rabbi Barry Starr of Temple Israel in Sharon, Mass. drew the crowd’s attention and prayers to a specific group among them—four busloads of American Airlines and United Airlines Employees...
...Elian Gonzalez gave good value in the category of cute kids with international poignancy. Clinton/Lewinsky, with Ken Starr ably pouring on the prurience and Republicans contributing the incompetent moralism, competed with O.J. for title of overall best - in the way that Hamlet and Lear may vie in people's minds for greatest Shakespeare play...

"They would like to thank their relatives and friends for all the great support they have shown them since they met two years ago," said a McCartney spokesman, who added that McCartney proposed on one knee with a diamond-and-sapphire ring bought...
