...pool or watching the Dave boys play Nintendo and often engaging in long heart-to-hearts with Laraine, even counseling Dave about her stepdaughter. "She was Johnny-on-the-spot for us," Dave says. But Monica's family problems, compounded by those of adolescence, resulted in large weight gains (she was almost 225 lbs. at one point). To mask it, Lewinsky often wore black clothes and black makeup. Dave says she "worked with [Monica] on exercise and eating right and getting into the psychological perspective...how beautiful she is, and how beautiful she would be if she slimmed down." Monica...

In practice he routinely bends his blades, and he recently started skating in a boot sporting an outer layer of ballistic nylon, the stuff they use in bulletproof vests...
...famous videotape, edited for television, did not show that after leading police on a 7.8-mile chase at speeds up to 115 m.p.h., King, a large man over 6 ft. tall with muscles buffed in prison weight rooms, appeared, according to police, virtually psychotic on some kind of drug, showed no effect from two jolts from a stun gun and threw off several officers who tried to "swarm" him, a relatively benign technique used to subdue a violent suspect. Nor did it show that after all that, King was charging directly at the officer who first whacked him with...
