...moments later, Sade slips into a small dressing room. She politely asks the reporter who is with her for permission to light a cigarette and then proceeds to chain-smoke for the duration of the interview. She smiles readily and laughs often, but something soft and vulnerable in her seems to clench reflexively - like a baby's fist around an adult's finger - when personal questions are raised. She exhales anxious gray smoke. She's not the interview type...
...that's just a taste. All told, air time for campaign 2000 TV ads may have cost $1 billion. And as TV repeated the same presidential, single-issue, House, Senate and ballot-proposal ads hour after hour, it became nearly impossible to receive vital information on which fast-food chain has the Backstreet Boys promotion.

Both chemicals are plausible suspects because they mimic hormones that play a key role in the development of the reproductive system. Beyond that, says Dr. Walter Rogan, an epidemiologist at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences in Research Triangle Park, N.C., both chemicals are ubiquitous in the environment, and they persist in the body for years after exposure...
...shoes are sold in Gadzooks' 350-store chain and in scores of boutiques like rockabilly mart Daddy-O's, in Marion, Ind., which stocks saddle shoes next to Sha Sha's iridescent Mary Janes. This spring the company is adding a line of garish golf shoes--sans the hidden pocket, so stylish duffers will still have to store their tees elsewhere...
