...Coming out next month will be a major new example of the expanded short story: Sleepy Hollow. Already, director Tim Burton has distanced himself from the classic short story by Washington Irving--Irving's work was titled "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." The plot is drastically different. In the tale, immortalized in a short Disney cartoon, Ichabod Crane is a thin, lanky schoolteacher with romantic designs on a local landowner's daughter, Katrina Van Tassel. In Crane's way is Brom Van Brunt, a big lug who frightens Crane with a story about the Headless Horseman--a rumored supernatural denizen...
...Senate approves a similar bill," says TIME Washington correspondent Sally Donnelly, "and Clinton signs it into law, doctors would be permitted to treat pain as aggressively as they saw fit, given their intent was not to end the patients' life. This way, doctors could medicate for pain without fear of retribution, even if a patient dies. But the tough issue becomes intent: What did the doctor intend the drugs to do?"

And if Gore's pregame trash-talking is anything to go by, he?s ready for a professorial rumble - in the weeks preceding the face-off, Gore has painted his challenger as an old-school liberal...
...White House rejected Helms' offer, claiming it could never get so much information together by Helms' November 1 deadline. "That was not realistic," says TIME Washington correspondent John Dickerson. "Everybody knew that." So what's the story behind the scenes in this ongoing drama? Perhaps it's that Helms, a 26-year Senate veteran, repeatedly clashed with Moseley-Braun during her term, most memorably over the use of the Confederate flag. Moseley-Braun, the first black woman to become a senator, later accused Helms of taunting her in an elevator by whistling "Dixie." The White House, meanwhile, appears...
