What a telling picture the Moscow summit made. Bill Clinton looking weary and spent, his head sunk in his hands, his lips tight in a glum line as reporters badgered him about Monica. Boris Yeltsin next to him, befuddled and disoriented as he struggled to link answers coherently to questions. When a journalist asked whether the Russian President would accept someone other than Viktor Chernomyrdin as nominee for Prime Minister, Yeltsin paused for a moment that grew painfully long. "Well," he finally said, "I must say, we will witness quite a few events for us to be able to achieve...
...last February. Bo suffered a diabetic crisis and was treated with liquids, prayer and anointings. County sheriff's detective Jeff Green recalls arriving at the Phillips house to find 200 or more church members. Bo's body "was lying in bed, covered with a sheet. His eyes were sunk into his head, and his face was completely yellow. The suffering that boy must have endured..."

Limp Bizkit's album, after getting an initial boost from pay-for-play, has sunk to the bottom quarter of the Billboard 200. Whatever success the band has had owes more to its many live performances...
...read that right. For to shatter the mighty meteor, a hydrogen bomb must be sunk deep into its core. That means hiring a wild bunch of wildcat oil drillers, led by Bruce Willis, to do the deed. They are all overgrown boys, designed to appeal to the undergrown boys who are this movie's prime audience. The roughnecks immediately start squabbling with the fly-right NASA nerds--representing responsible, clueless adulthood--who must hurriedly train them for space flight, deliver them to their target on time and admit in the end that obstreperous irresponsibility has its uses. Stupid as this...
