...negativa to define who God is, outlining everything He isn't (e.g., "God is not mortal") and implying that He is everything else. A similar tactic works for the flygirls. They're not the Supremes, exactly, although in some scenes they do alternate their backflips with do-wop backup harmonies. They're not all TLC, despite their crazysexycool attitude and hip-hop flava (they describe their dance style as "hip-hop and jazz meets Tae Bo"). They are not so much the In Living Color flygirls as they are the dancers in the video for the Paula Abdul song "Cold...

Now deejays are core members...
...seemed to know just how bad it was or wasn't. At one point, radiation levels a mile or so from the plant were 15,000 times higher than normal for an urban setting; 46 workers were exposed to dangerously high levels of radiation. U.S. and European experts said backup safety measures should have automatically shifted into gear to halt the disaster. But the facility, housed in a bland-looking white five-story building just 60 ft. from the nearest residential housing, apparently had no such safety precautions...
