...Media Week before the Super Bowl, three men offered their assertions of Lewis' innocence. Ray Lewis' biggest supporter was, well, Ray Lewis. However, teammate Shannon Sharpe and head coach Brian Billick also issued statements defending the Pro Bowl linebacker. Of course, Sharpe, widely known as the league's biggest trash-talker, has diarrhea of the mouth and says anything that pops into his mind without discretion.

But Estrada left a whole lot of garbage behind, literally: Manila is inundated with uncollected trash due to bad planning by Estrada's administration.

The second was packed with annoying prima donnas dying to break into show biz. Who wants to watch a cast of 16 scheming Richards--or worse, 16 Gregs, whipping out coconut phones (eucalyptus phones?) in hopes...
Last May, David Pearson was in big trouble. An unlikely coalition of hunters and communists was parading through the narrow streets of Aniane, a village in the Languedoc region of southwest France, baying for his blood. Shadowy forces were spreading misinformation to trash the project Pearson had spent the previous two years putting together. Some seven months later, he recalled, "I told headquarters that in the worst-case scenario, this could end up like Elian Gonzalez...
