Then, just before landfall, Opal had another change of heart. She fizzled. By the time the storm crossed the coast, its winds diminished by at least a third. Until then, however, it fit Jarrell's vision of what the Big One will be like: traffic jams and cars blown wholesale into storm-surge waters. "I'm afraid you're going to drown hundreds if not thousands of people," says Jarrell. "And it's going to happen some time...
...colorful battle against New Line Cinema, taking out cryptically worded full-page ads in trade magazines imploring, among others, stars ED NORTON and EDDIE FURLONG to help him. Kaye's beef: despite the fact that he has spent more than $1 million of his own money on his new vision for the film, the studio won't let him complete it.

And I suppose that Monica Lewinsky, in her pain, has promised herself never again to get romantically involved with a sitting President. And I imagine it has dawned on Mr. Starr that he may go down in history...
...like it's going to be a piece of cake," says Jerome Rainville of the American School of Astrology. "Clinton has no planets opposing him, and Mercury and Venus are in alignment. On the 16th he will be getting good advice. He will have Sun sextile Jupiter, which gives vision and ideas. On the 17th he will be very cool, not uptight at all." What about Ken Starr? "Things look difficult. He's got Mars conjuncting his natal Saturn. He'll feel tired, obstructed, like he's not getting anywhere. Starr has a Saturn sun; he's a person...
