...office tripe is Brian De Palma. Throughout his entire career, he has been a director with a distinct emphasis on visual style over substantiative content, and the truth remains with _M2M_. Even as the mother of all sandstorms rips space travellers apart and astronauts soar weightless through their ship before our very eyes, there's little done in these moments to further the story's cause. There is also the sense that we've seen this all before, and we have. It was called _2001: A Space Odyssey_ from which this work has ripped much of its form and content...
DIED. FRIEDENSREICH HUNDERTWASSER, 71, Austrian painter and architect best known for designing a brightly colored Viennese apartment building lacking any straight lines, which the artist considered to be "the tool of the devil"; of a heart attack, on the Queen Elizabeth II cruise ship...
Talk about synergy. The coca-hunting Bell and Sikorsky helicopters that the Clinton Administration wants to ship to Colombia to help wipe out cocaine and heroin just happen to be needed at exactly the same time that U.S. helicopter builders are looking for new customers.

Without medical insurance, Talerico estimates that he'll be paying for that tragedy for a long time. Overall, however, the subway has provided a viable source of income, albeit an unpredictable one. Talerico explains...
...never wanted to do very much as President so much as he just wanted to be President, to sit behind that big desk and make the hard calls. George Bush never promised to be an activist in the Oval Office; he just promised to keep the ship in the channel. "W," whose public agenda is not much thicker than his father's, is essentially promising the same thing, but his private agenda is more pressing. Bush's father was worried at times that "W" wouldn't amount to much, but at some point everything fell into place. Would it really...
