...wrote, "If any of you in any way hate homosexuals, people of a different color, or women, please do this one favor for us -- leave us the f--- alone!" And Scott Weiland, the flame-haired singer for Stone Temple Pilots -- grungelike newcomers who have an antirape song called Sex Type Thing -- recalls feeling disturbed at a recent concert when he looked out into a crowd made up of the kind of good-looking, middle- class guys who used to beat him up in high school...
...orbit as a fighting machine. Once the real warheads have been identified, they could be targeted for kill by laser weapons, intense beams of light that could destroy a Soviet missile or warhead by burning through its skin or, in a pulsating version, by hitting it with a sledgehammer-type blow. SDI scientists have been exploring the merits of deploying several types of laser weapons in space. Chemical lasers, generated by the reaction of gases such as hydrogen and fluorine, are now considered too unwieldy for space deployment. When they are ground based, their long-wavelength beam would...
...They're vital and craggy in this film. Faces jump off the screen and leech into your memory.

When I'd put the Kindle in sleep mode and leave it for a few days, it was usually dead on my rearrival. Soon I consigned it to the Quittner Closet Where Old Gadgets...
Metzler is not among the estimated 1% of Iowans with flood insurance, so he appreciates the help he's received, including $250 in food assistance for the month, $300 a week in "unemployment-type disaster relief" and personal phone calls from a FEMA official. Staying with friends as he awaits a possible FEMA trailer, Metzler is determined to restart his business elsewhere in town. "Heck yeah," he says. "You've got to have a bowling alley in Coralville...
