When asked if Albright could make the difference, Weld says, "Undoubtedly." She and Helms like each other, although in Washington, a fake relationship, like the one she has with Helms, may trump a real one. A senior State Department official is eager to diminish expectations. "The Helms-Albright pairing is fun Washington stuff. But it's foolish to think that if the Secretary winks at Helms, Weld gets a hearing. It's up to Republicans...
...Levin's list, and some that might as well be: assault by a stranger, stalking, rampages by co-employees and demon baby sitters. (A truly spectacular serial-killer case seems thrown in for seasoning.) Some of the counsel is self-evident: Beware of strange men offering unwanted favors or fake solidarity. Learn to say, "I said NO!" But a four-part test for assessing the possibility of violence is less obvious and more useful. De Becker, a compulsive systemizer who has sold the Supreme Court his MOSAIC-2 computer program for risk assessment, offers 17 signs that a worker...
...real vaccine or a placebo last year, doctors from the National Institutes of Health and the biotechnology firm Aviron said today that only 1 percent of the 1,070 children who received the real spray caught the flu. By contrast, 18 percent of the 532 children who got the fake spray got sick. Overall, doctors involved in the 30-year study said the vaccine was effective against both the A and B strains of last year's flu virus and showed no noticeable side effects. Prepared from weakened influenza viruses rather than killed viruses found in traditional flu shots...
...walls of Christie's salesrooms in New York City are like a faux castle, lined with plastic stone and fake vines, but there were real royal relics up for grabs there last week. More than 1,000 potential buyers, a phalanx of reporters and dozens of young Christie's employees in little black dresses watched Christie's chairman LORD HINDLIP auction off 79 of DIANA's castoffs--some lovely, some dated, some plain hideous. The "Up Yours" dress, right, so called because Diana wore it to stunning effect the night Charles admitted his infidelity on TV, was an early favorite...
...played in the majors. But most exploiteurs were amateurs--like Doris Wishman, with her mesmerizingly absurd tales of good women gone bad. The husband-and-wife team of Michael and Roberta Findlay, who, Weldon says admiringly, "made the most twisted softcore adult movies of them all," later concocted the fake snuff film, Snuff. They specialized in bizarre ways of killing off sexy women (crossbow, electrified earrings, dildo switchblades). Exploitation? Or prophecy? Michael was decapitated in 1977 by the blade of a helicopter crashing atop Manhattan's Pan Am Building...
