...York, N.Y. Hotel O.K., it's a hoot, a building that's made to look like a jumble of buildings. This massive Las Vegas hotel with a "Central Park-themed" casino takes as its silhouette the Manhattan skyline and for good measure crams in Grant's Tomb, Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. Did we mention the Coney Island roller coaster? Tasteless, you say? We say, beyond tasteless. Hey man, you got a problem with that...
...BLOODY, BEAUTIFUL The shimmering landscapes of Riven. The blood-drenched corridors of Quake II. The eye-popping charms of Tomb Raider II's Lara Croft. Computer-gaming aficionados have never had so many titles to choose from--or so many megabytes to wade through (Riven alone fills five CD-ROMS).

Coe's own script, This Time Next Year, called for the ghost of Ulysses S. Grant to materialize at Grant's Tomb. The actor playing Grant was to jump into an NBC limo and get uptown in time for the "remote." But there was no limo. So the actor hailed a cab and, in full Grant regalia, ordered, "Take me to Grant's Tomb...
