...amendment that prohibited three terms was written during Fujimori's first term in office. In the area of civil liberties, the government does no better. Trials are swift and arbitrary; 30-year-old Lori Berenson, an American convicted of treason by a kangaroo court, is currently imprisoned without heat, light or running water...
...light of the latest local catastrophe, the mismanagement of the Central Artery Tunnel project (a.k.a. "The Big Dig"), it's nice to see that private citizens are taking it upon themselves to help serve the community at large.

Huge hairy men and small mascara-abusing girls screamed with estatic anticipation. Without wasting a moment of dialogue with the crowd, Korn blitzed through the set. Lasers, lights, an inflated rag doll, three video screen, and gigantic speakers pulsed through the crowd, throwing everyone into a bass beat thrashing. Bodies flew through the air in the pit, while Korn-dogs in the stands forced their way past guards onto the floor. Pandemonium ensued...
