...seminar in Great Falls, Montana. It was organized by Roy Schwasinger, founder of We the People, one of several organizations promoting Freemen-style ideologies and fraud schemes. Depending on his audience, Schwasinger told listeners that either the Federal Government or the U.S. banking system had lost a class-action suit for defrauding farmers and ranchers. To cash in on their share of the (nonexistent) settlement, he offered them a helpful kit of documents. Price...
...many recruits are festooned with adornments too tasteless for even hardy jarheads. One Marine wannabe's temple, for example, bore tattoos of bullet holes with blood oozing from them (he didn't get in). Another recruit sported a naked woman (he was barred until he had a bathing suit tattooed upon her). Recruiters are forwarding snapshots of dubious tattoos to senior officers for their approval before the wearers are allowed into the Marines. The issue took a serious turn following the March 5 murder of a Marine lieutenant colonel at Camp Pendleton, California, allegedly by a sergeant under his command...
...were hurt. Debbie Henson was let go by the Republican National Committee after five months on the job. She has sued the R.N.C., describing a put-out-to-get-ahead atmosphere where backrubs, lap sitting and being called "pretty thing" were not unusual.

Recently two women...
...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 suit and giving Sherman Helmsley a run for his money as a George Jefferson impersonator...
...forty minutes of added drive time between O'Hare Airport and downtown because of an unusual gawker's delay, reports TIME's Julie Grace. "Elston and Milwaukee Avenues have been dubbed 'Rodman reroutes' because of a giant billboard advertisement of Bulls player Dennis Rodman in a Bigsby & Kruthers business suit and tie which went up after Rodman was suspended for six games for head-butting a NBA referee. The suit is tailored to accentuate Rodman's tattoos in the most obvious way: the sleeves are cut off." Although all the attention is an advertiser's dream come true...
