Ebony and other IJs are taking heat from Korea's police and prosecutors, who take a dim view of the country's latest cyberfad. In the past two months, they have launched raids on Internet broadcast stations around the country. The president of one station has already been sentenced to a year in jail for violating obscenity provisions of Korea's broadcasting laws, two others received suspended sentences and around 10 more are in jail, awaiting trial. Enterchannel is likely to get off with a $16,000 fine but Ebony was hauled in for questioning. "Police aren't trying...
...tiny sex kittens LIL' KIM and FOXY BROWN is more confusing than the Balkans. New York City police surmise that a shootout last week involving 20 people and five guns occurred after Lil' Kim, left, and her entourage ran into rapper Capone and his entourage outside hip-hop radio station Hot 97. Capone, part of the duo Capone-N-Noreaga, is allied with Foxy Brown, inset, who proved you can rhyme "bitch" with "bitch" on a none too complimentary rap about Lil' Kim that appears on Capone-N-Noreaga's recent The Reunion album. All the rappers released statements denying...

Life goes on. Your mother is dying, but a man needs wheels...
Most important, Rex works. Unlike the Vista, which gives gadgetry a bad name, Rex made even a techno-skeptic like me a little weak in the knees. It's impeccably stylish, right down to its cobalt blue docking station and purple cable connector, and at $150 to $190 (depending on the type of PC connection you choose), it's cheaper than most full-size handhelds. It's custom-made for notebook users who can slide it into a PC card slot for updates. True, it doesn't offer all the expansion options of the bigger handhelds, such as games...
What gleams on the surface in Furst's books is his vivid, precise evocation of mood, time, place, a letter-perfect re-creation of the quotidian details of World War II Europe that wraps around us like the rich fug of a wartime railway station. He puts us on the exact street where the Daisy Bar sat in Montmartre, gives us the heavy smell of an eau de toilette called Zouave. His stories rumble along in the dreary trains that seemed to be forever crisscrossing Europe...
