" EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Minnesota defensive tackle John Randle was fined $7,500 by the NFL for a public act of obscenity during the Vikings' NFC playoff game against the New Orleans Saints on Jan. 7. After sacking Saints quarterback Aaron Brooks for a 6-yard loss, Randle celebrated by acting as if he were urinating on the field. The league confirmed the fine, which was imposed last week. Randle's sack prevented the Saints from scoring just before halftime. The Vikings led 17-3 at halftime and went on to a 34-16 victory. "

"The N.F.L.'s main concern is the sex-related entertainment clubs. In this area, the league will be getting cooperation from the Tampa authorities. In preparation for the Super Bowl, the police are strictly enforcing a city law that forbids anyone from getting within six feet of a nude dancer. A series of recent police actions has led to many arrests of dancers and patrons, including two National Hockey League players last weekend."

frontline does some decent work on the clinton years. i wish the news would expose the unflattering angles without sensationalism. it just shows how they are all playing the power games and most of us are backround noise.

"ACCORDING TO POPULAR MYTH it was Winston Churchill who said, "any man under thirty who is not a liberal has no heart, and any man over thirty who is not a conservative has no brains." He didn't say it, but his imprimatur turned a clever quip of uncertain provenance into an axiom of political biography: Radicalism is a privilege of youth, conservatism a responsibility of age, and every thinking person eventually surrenders the first for the second. From Max Eastman to Eugene Genovese, Whittaker Chambers to Ronald Radosh, intellectuals migrate from left to right almost as if obeying a law of nature."

pittsburgher

"Guess Brad Pitt won't be making any contributions to the William Jefferson Clinton presidential library. "I think Clinton's a phony," the actor declares in the new issue of Details. Looking back on Lewinsky-gate, Pitt says: "Don't you wish he'd just said, 'This is not your business. We're handling it in the privacy of our home.'" The heartthrob contends that, not unlike a lot of women, Clinton was beguiled by Robert Redford, currently co-starring with Pitt in "Spy Game." Brad Pitt "Bill Clinton patterned himself after Redford," theorizes Pitt. "He idolized him. It's so blatant. Watch any Redford movie with a cause, and then watch Clinton," the "Fight Club" star says, mimicking the outgoing President's way of stroking his jaw line. Pitt adds, "Clinton had this quest to be liked. It's the same with movie stars." Wile he may dislike the outgoing President, Pitt did attend a Hillary Rodham Clinton fund-raiser amid last summer's Democratic National Convention."

space invaders

"The answer may lie in a little-known plan for the United State to dominate and colonize outer space. This sounds absurd and paranoid, but it is all laid out in the mission statements of the United States Space Command. The basic document, Vision for 2020, is already five years old. (This, and the later Long Range Plan fleshing out the "vision," are publicly available on the Web, at http://www.spacecom.af.mil/usspace. Copies can be found also on the Project Ploughshares Web site, http://www.ploughshares.ca. The Space Command describes its role as "dominating the space dimension of military operations to protect U.S. interests and investment [and] integrating Space Forces into war-fighting capabilities across the full spectrum of conflict."

mysterious ways

"Hundreds of Christians in Indonesia have gathered around a house in the capital Jakarta to catch a glimpse of what they say is an apparition of Jesus Christ. Christians claim the stained white wall in front of a small house, which is owned by a Muslim, shows Jesus looking towards heaven with outstretched hands. However, not everyone in the crowd was convinced. Some people said they could not see anything on the wall, which is discoloured with light brown water marks. The house's Muslim owner, Ajum, said the image first appeared last night. He said: "I do not mind Christians believing it is an image of Jesus and crowding around the house but I would prefer if they did not hold midnight prayer vigils." The sightings coincide with a wave of attacks aimed at Indonesia's Christian minority. On Christmas Eve, bomb blasts which ripped through churches in nine cities killed at least 15 people and injured scores of others. Indonesia is the world's most populous Muslim nation. Christians make up less than 10% of the country's 203 million people. "

"TV's top comedy will go to war with last year's hottest show as Friends expands next month to battle Survivor. In a bold move, NBC plans to pad episodes of Friends by 10 minutes, expanding the show to 8:40 p.m. ET/PT, for four weeks beginning Feb. 1. And for at least two weeks, Saturday Night Live will air new sketches, performed live, from 8:40 to 9. New Survivor episodes air from 8 to 9 on CBS in February."
