Drive south from Seattle on Interstate 5, through the outer suburbs and Tacoma and a steady stream of Burger Kings, and you'll know you've nearly hit Olympia when you see exit signs for Sleater-Kinney Road. Here three women once paid their dues lugging amps and guitars to a storage space where they practiced. It was the mid-'90s, when talent scouts still scoured Seattle for the next Nirvana, handing out record deals to young men in flannel with evocative band names (remember Candlebox?). Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein, Sleater-Kinney's singer-guitarists, lacked the commercial ambition...
What finally gave it away? Was it the constant public displays of affection at awards shows and movie premieres? The gleaming diamond ring she has been sporting since last fall? Or maybe the giant tent erected on a Malibu estate and the stream of florists and caterers who had been ferrying in their goods all week? Whatever the case, JENNIFER ANISTON, 31, and BRAD PITT, 36, confirmed that they would indeed wed this past weekend, before 200 of their closest pals. Pitt's ex-fiance Gwyneth Paltrow was not expected to be in attendance despite reportedly receiving an invitation...

Concupiscent ducks fly in a crazy syntax over powerboats throbbing in the canal. A mole slinks back to his underworld kennel. Succinct, admirable outcast. I paddle down the stream of unconsciousness. I used to look forward to summer...
...first in a series of parks that Bargmann is planning for the restoration of this part of southwest Pennsylvania, it is being paid for by the town along with state and federal agencies and will contain picnicking areas and hiking trails. But its central feature will be a stream of acidic water that will percolate out of the mine and course down a limestone-lined canal into aerating basins and finally to a wetland for a final rinse. Alongside the water's path, Bargmann is planting a "litmus garden"-- rows of cherry trees, blueberry bushes and other plants whose autumnal...
