...PUBLISHER (brightening a bit, playing with an idea): "Years of Lightning: Days of Thongs"...Not bad. A little cheesy. Might work. But it's not $12 million worth, or even $10 million. Ken Starr got there first - already wrote the book that had all the sexy material. The rest is just history - just homework. Maybe that was Starr's intent all along - to queer your post-presidential book deal by pre-emptively spilling the most salacious stuff (the blue dress and the cigar and all that) under the plain brown wrapper of an official special counsel's report...

Says geneticist Malcolm Willis, senior lecturer in animal breeding at Newcastle University, "On a hot summer day you can lose a bulldog." Leila, who died before her fifth birthday, is a case in point. Her London owner, Ken Mollett, was not surprised.

Their combined bonfire consumed more than $860 million, not counting the undisclosed seven-figure sum Webvan paid the San Francisco Giants to sponsor all the cupholders at Pacific Bell Park...
...great bronze lions in trafalgar square would be unrecognizable without their centuries-old coating of chalky, swirling, "Don't touch it dear" pigeon guano. But London Lord Mayor Ken Livingstone has declared war on the square's infamous winged residents. Livingstone's plan is to starve them, and after months of legal wrangles and, ultimately, a lucrative settlement, the city evicted Bernard Rayner, Trafalgar's sole bird-feed vendor, from the square. Trafalgar's pigeons are so tame they would eat from children's hands?if children were clever enough to avoid the watchful patrolmen. One group has: the Pigeon...
