Flight 261 began its journey last Monday--from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, to San Francisco and Seattle--with no apparent problems. The first hour and a half was smooth flying: at 3:55 p.m. the crew received routine clearance to remain at a cruising altitude of 31,000 ft. The first sign of trouble came 15 minutes later, when--according to the National Transportation Safety Board--the pilot reported that he was having "control difficulties" and that the plane had descended to 26,000 ft. Moments later, it was down...
Crazy or not, the world of online dating is certainly booming, with millions of willing singles hunched over keyboards touch-typing their best smooth lines. "It's to the point where mothers are actually telling single daughters to search for their husbands on the Web," says Trish McDermott of Match.com an Internet dating service that boasts about 100,000 active members.

Knoxville, Tenn. rock-jazz-funk band Gran Torino is an impressive musical collaboration of nine fine musicians. Together, they fuse the sounds of trumpet, guitar, keyboard, sax and other instruments into smooth music with groove. To their fans' delight, Gran Torino now has 11 new songs on their second album, Two. The new album follows their 1997 release, One. Two features more singing than its largely instrumental predecessor, but many of the new album's songs, like "Phyllis" and "Days of the Tested," have excellent solos generously mixed in. While lead singer Chris Ford's vocals often sound uncomfortably similar...
...dilemmas appears in the John Donne sonnets that provide Dr. Bearing with a coping mechanism for cancer. A comma is the only punctuation separating life from death in the verses of Donne. There is no conclusive period, no exclamation point separating the two juxtaposed thoughts; only a simple, smooth transitional comma. Of course, cancer is not the simplest or smoothest transition between life and death. Dr. Bearing's experience thus seems to completely contradict this idea, with one important exception. The last moments of her life are exceptionally tranquil. She dies in her sleep and some time elapses before...
