No Linkage: the Klan & Klinton

Written by Andrey Slivka on November 9, 1999. Posted in Breaking News, Posts

"I think it was an extraordinary event," he says of the counterdemonstration. "I’d be the first to admit that I never thought we’d have six to eight thousand people there… And the diversity of the crowd was just what we’d hoped for… The real story is that we ran the KKK out of town. And

The Criminal Mind

Written by None - Do not Delete on November 9, 1999. Posted in Breaking News, Posts

"You’ll recall it all started in August when the Voice ran Rall’s midlife-crisis rant against comics guru Art Spiegelman, of whom he seems hugely envious, prompting furious online debate among comics types, including a Hellman parody of Rall. Rall is suing Hellman for defamation and loss of potential income (he claims he was in Hollywood

Hillbilly Killer Eludes Cops; Looks a Bit Like Me

Written by Zane Campbell on November 9, 1999. Posted in Breaking News, Posts

Without Norman’s escape from prison it would have been pretty dull around this rural part of Maryland this summer. The only other news was the drought, if that gives you any idea. Norman and his two older brothers, Bruce Sr. and David, were convicted in 1980 of whacking those four teenagers–members of their own gang,

Cheap Bordeaux

Written by Matthew DeBord on November 9, 1999. Posted in Breaking News, Posts

That said, because of my middle-class, up-from-a-small-town, prisoner-of-the-suburbs, prepossessingly uncosmopolitan heritage, I’ve always courted the French. The French, those princes of sophistication, style and urban elan. Their food, their wine. Their movies. All through my 20s, I lapped at the hoary pool of flagrant Francophilia, sometimes quite literally. I lost my cherry to a girl

From the Fashion Closet To Acronymia

Race & the Race If the defining feature of the postmodernist era is that truth is held in contempt, then Sen. Tom Daschle and his fellow Democrats are in like Flynn with the times. The South Dakotan Daschle, like his buddies Ted Kennedy and Joe Biden, has never felt bound by the despotism of fact

The Rock Star’s Arrival

Written by Russ Smith on November 9, 1999. Posted in Breaking News, Posts

The Rock Star’s Arrival It’s never easy to schedule a birthday party for kids–it seems one or two pop up every week–so Junior’s bash fell nine days after he actually turned seven, a fact that was completely irrelevant to the 20 or so attendees at his bowling bonanza last Friday afternoon at Chelsea Piers. I

Drooling Reagan-Haters

Written by J.R. Taylor on November 2, 1999. Posted in Breaking News, Posts

It’s a horrible situation. There’s nothing wrong with interviewing Lou Diamond Phillips. He’s had an interesting career and delivered a few underseen performances. But instead of a one-on-one, I’m stuck sitting at a table with about six other writers. Typical is a fat old creep with a ponytail who’s loudly bragging about how quickly he’ll

Democrats in Desperation Tom Daschle Hones His Demagoguery

Written by Russ Smith on November 2, 1999. Posted in Breaking News, Posts

Tom Daschle Hones His Demagoguery I took a cab to work last Friday morning, after dropping Junior off at school. Nothing extraordinary about that; after kissing him goodbye, I doubled back to a westbound street and flagged a driver who ignored my instructions to take 5th down to 29th. So what, I figured, there was

The Klueless Klan

Written by C.J. Sullivan on November 2, 1999. Posted in Breaking News, Posts

Up onstage an angry woman threw down the hammer. "We are a community of warriors!" she declared. "Harlem is waiting for you, KKK! Come uptown and see what happens! The KKK will not show their dirty faces today!" She was wrong with that last comment. The KKK has never rallied in New York, and these

Tube Mistake

Written by Laura Moser on November 2, 1999. Posted in Breaking News, Posts

In addition to being a resplendent social gateway, Payam will also be a powerful discipline/influence. After a full 14 months outside of the East Village, he considers himself a full-blooded European, obsessed by the absurd notion of the "average American’s 80-hour work week." In four hours with him he’s already repeated his new slogan five
