From Kool Modee to Ice-T, many rappers haven't appreciated LL's style, calling him "soft" for including love songs on his album and saying he brags about everything--especially his body...
...Atlanta is trying again. Nearly 5,000 boosters braved a thunderstorm last week to celebrate the reopening of Underground after a 2 1/2-year renovation that cost $142 million, including $85 million in city-backed bonds. The complex, decorated in turn-of-the-century style, will eventually boast 140 stores, restaurants and nightclubs -- as well as dozens of security guards meant to reassure the suburbanites and tourists who are essential to the downtown's revitalization.

...space rocket that stalled helplessly on a White Sands, N. Mex., test stand last week seemed to symbolize the fears critics have long expressed about the Strategic Defense Initiative. What fizzled was not the payload -- a satellite designed to generate Buck Rogers-style neutral-particle beams in space -- but a thoroughly conventional solid-fuel Aries booster. Coming after an aborted mission in March using a Delta launcher, the unsuccessful mission crystallized suspicion that SDI is so riddled with potential failures that it will never get off the ground...
