...moonless night, and Jorge Macias Onate, a Mexican border-police officer, knows he'll be busy as he eases his Dodge Ram along his country's porous border with the U.S. Soon his headlights pick out four scraggly youths preparing to scale the 12-ft.-high steel fence that separates the town of Agua Prieta from Douglas, Ariz. As he slows the pickup, the teenagers scatter like rabbits toward the sagebrush. "Wait! Don't run! We're not here to arrest you," yells Macias. "We want to help you. The problem is on the other side...
...However, the harder edged songs like the first single "Can't Change Me," "Flutter Girl" and "Steel Rain" contained a dose of emotion and life that was undeniable and mesmerizing.

"This is amazing," gasps Gardner, balling his fists while the scorching...
...Steelers (giving 6.5) over Browns. Cleveland's lovely new glass-and-steel Dawg House ? and a city that has dearly missed its football ? isn't worth more than a field goal; this is still an expansion team we're talking about, and Ty Detmer ain't Doug Flutie. Look for the defection-gutted Steelers to get 75 yards from nimble newcomer Amos Zereoue and grimace their way to a two-touchdown win. Unless Kordell Stewart gets emotional...
