...notorious Billings crank dealer, facing state charges at the time, received a steady stream of predawn customers in a room directly across the courtyard. ("You know he's in," the night clerk said, "when the phone lines all light up at once.") Approached for an interview about his trade, the wanted man, a tattooed giant on a bed surrounded by a clutch of weary party girls, merely said, "I'm busy. I don't have time now." Last week the alleged dealer was arrested in another Billings motel in a raid that netted several ounces of what police identified...
...fang-baring world of Bill Clinton's most dedicated pursuers, Larry Klayman is in a class by himself. In just four years as head of Judicial Watch, the nonprofit group he founded and operates, Klayman has filed 18 legal actions against the Clinton Administration. Once a relatively obscure trade lawyer, he now goes after anyone he thinks might know something, anything about the skulduggeries he feels sure the White House is behind. Making the most of the rules of pretrial discovery, Klayman has subpoenaed such past and present Clinton insiders as George Stephanopoulos and Paul Begala--as well as such...
...Brown, who died in a plane crash in Croatia two years ago, may actually have been shot to death?

In May the country staged its second annual music-industry trade show, Cubadisco '98, and the event drew crowds of American record executives. Ned Sublette of Qbadisc, a small, six-year-old label based in New York City that specializes in distributing Cuban music, says many American music executives he had never seen before (some of whom knew nothing about the music) attended the event. "Everybody's there because they hear that's where the action is," says Sublette. "It's close...
...True to Your Heart, that cascades over the closing credits. The song doesn't have much to do with the girl-power theme of this briskly enchanting film, but it's a perky parting gift from the Disney folks. The R.-and-B. group 98[degrees] and Stevie Wonder trade harmonic and harmonica riffs with some sassy horns, and euphoria saturates the multiplex. Cap your soda cup before dancing out of the theater...
