...Randle is a series of cameos that seems like "Who's Who In Hollywood." Quentin Tarantino appears as a sleazy director with the power to give anyone fame. John Turturro, as Girl 6's agent, screams, "Sharon Stone spread her legs for QT." Madonna, a phone sex boss and strip tease club owner, does what she is wont to do--she talks about sex, "No restrictions, no taboos." Naomi Campbell gets in the act as a pot-smoking phone sex operator who wears tight t-shirts bearing slogans like "Models Suck." Kudos to Spike Lee for donning a 1970s business...
...perform. Previously, the Prime Minister insisted that the peace process should continue regardless of the level of terrorism. Now he has explicitly linked continued concessions to the Palestinian Authority's success in breaking the Islamists. He has also indefinitely sealed Israel's borders with the West Bank and Gaza Strip--a measure that costs Palestinians $1.2 million daily in lost earnings. With few exceptions, P.A. officials, including Arafat, were forbidden to travel into Israel or through it to get between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.

The result is that Dilbert, which already runs in more than 800 newspapers with a readership of some 60 million people, is still the fastest-growing comic strip in the country...
Then in 1993 Adams printed his E-mail address in the strips. The thousands of responses made it clear that his readers wanted more lampoons of corporate culture and had an endless supply of material to contribute. "There were about 35 million office workers in the United States all having this shared experience, but not knowing that it was shared," Adams discovered. "All going home and not being able to talk about it because they assumed that it could not be this bad anywhere else." Dilbert began to chronicle downsizing, hotelling (when a company has fewer cubicles than employees...
