Cleaver claimed that the King who is usually remembered on Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a toned-down King, made palatable to white America. Besides the Last Supper anecdote, Cleaver's evidence for this was an audio tape with three excerpts from unidentified speeches by King, in which he referred to himself as a "revolutionary...
...artistic accomplishments will grace this new year, America will always have Pamela and Tommy Lee. Shortly after their marriage in 1995, the bosomy former Baywatch actress and the heavily tattooed drummer of the rock band Motley Crue put together a home videotape that included episodes of explicit sex. The tape, allegedly stolen from the couple's Malibu, Calif., home soon after it was made, is now infamous, turning up at dinner parties in Hollywood and in media offices in New York City. This month, voyeurs everywhere get their chance to ogle. A Seattle-based adult-entertainment company will release...
...tape has been the subject of nearly two years of litigation. In 1996 the Lees filed a $10 million lawsuit against Penthouse publisher Bob Guccione to prevent the magazine from publishing still photographs gleaned from the tape. The Lees lost, and Penthouse ran the photos that June.

"It's a publicity stunt," he says...
...power is intoxicating. Sealed in your little pod, you control the climate with the touch of a button, from Arctic tundra to equatorial tropic. The cabin is virtually soundproof. Your "pilot's chair" has more positions than a Barcalounger. You can't listen to that old Sammy Davis Jr. tape at home because your kids will think you're a dweeb, but in the car, the audience roars as you belt out I've Gotta Be Me. Coffee steams from the cup holder, a bag of Beer Nuts sits open at your side, and God knows you're safe...
