...Carrassquillo of Bronx, N.Y. was arrested by CPD after fleeing from a motor vehicle accident at Mass. Ave. and Exeter Park. Once stopped, Carrassquillo was observed reaching into the legs of his shorts, stating that he kept his license there. At that time a bulge and part of a plastic bag was observed in his socks...
...screen and 4-hr. battery time were clearly superior to the Aiwa's 5.8-in. screen and 2-hr. battery time. Also, it was better engineered for usability. It is solidly built (it has a metal case) and surprisingly trim, while the Aiwa is mostly plastic and clunkier; its battery pack clips on, adding weight and bulkiness. Sony's rechargeable battery, by contrast, is built...
...trailer for herself. Like the ads for a summer action flick, her public persona promises slick, sweaty thrills: At the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards she wore a tiny purple pastie over her otherwise exposed left breast; in the latest Vibe she poses like a plastic blow-up doll, her lips parted suggestively to form a moist pink oval.

It's the Battlefield Earth of this summer's rap albums...
...Attorney's office in Tucson is keeping a file open on Barnett for possible prosecution, according to police sources. Barnett has to watch his step in other ways too. Across the border in Agua Prieta, a dusty boomtown of cheap hotels, cantinas and shops specializing in plastic water jugs and can openers for the illegals' desert odyssey, Barnett is considered bad for business. More than 1.2 million illegals--Mexicans, Central Americans, Chinese and a smattering of Europeans--poured through here last year. Yet during May and June, the number of aliens wanting to cross has fallen considerably, and some coyotes...
...SIDES OF MANUFACTURING The conventional approach is top-down: starting with large clumps of steel, wood, plastic, masonry and shaping them into the forms you want. Nanotechnology is, by contrast, bottom-up: stacking individual atoms into useful shapes. We know that the bottom-up approach is possible because that's what biology does, assembling proteins from individual atoms and molecules, putting them together to form cells and layering cells upon cells to form large, complex objects such as sperm whales and giant Sequoia trees...
