...usual plan is just to stay close for the first part of the race," junior Jeff Castellano said. "We stayed pretty close through the first 1,000 meters and then pulled ahead. We held a three-quarter-boat-length lead the rest of the race...
...killing" the women of Afghanistan, where the Taliban, an extreme faction of mujahedin, largely composed of Lord of the Flies-like boy soldiers, swept to power in 1996.

"Everybody is surprised," says a White House aide, "that we're not as far along as we wanted...

The only sure skip is yet another moldy Jackie Chan re-release, Double Dragons, about -- get this -- TWO Jackie Chans! Hilarious. Stay home and rent Double Impact -- it's twice the VanDammage, after all. Or better yet, read a book...
