...weird thing about the health panic rampaging across Europe is that it has almost nothing to do with the prevalence of the health risk itself. Only three people in continental Europe are known to have died from the human variant of bovine spongiform encephalopathy in the last decade. Despite the recent rise in the number of bovine cases, the chances of encountering a mad cow on the Continent are tiny: since 1990 the incidence of bse in cows in Europe is fewer than 2,000, compared to 180,000 in Britain. And yet across Europe, beef consumption has plunged...
...Ocasek, David Copperfield and Donald Trump are all first-ballot Hall of Famers in the "Weird-Looking Guy with Gorgeous Model" celebrity- romance competition, but a rumored new matchup could top them all. The hot gossip out of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, last week was that GENE SPERLING, former director of the National Economic Council, is something of an item with supermodel NAOMI CAMPBELL.

It makes you wonder, though: Could someone with a handgun get a clear shot from that angle...
...around - the fact, for instance, that two competing tribes lost their members at more or less the same rate. On the other hand, Stillman's postulate that CBS wanted to keep crusty septuagenarian Rudy Boesch to hang on to older viewers - the most actively despised demographic in television - is weird, to say the least. (CBS bought "Survivor" largely to win a younger audience.) Being a rank legal amateur, I'll leave it to trained professionals - or another set of legal rank amateurs drawn from the San Francisco jury pool - to decide whether Stacey has a case. But her lawsuit raises...
