UNITED NATIONS -- Yasser Arafat dismissed the United States' veto of a U.N. resolution against Israel's threats to expel him, saying Wednesday that the step will not "shake us."

But it said the U.N. resolution calling for Israel to halt its threats was "lopsided" and didn't condemn terrorist groups attacking Israel.

Ritter, Cash, Bronson... An Appreciation

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, Sept. 18,2003 12 a.m.

Death… it's an unavoidable part of everyone's life. It just seems strange when it happens to someone in the limelight, and even more so when said figures are "bigger than life."

WK's latest offering merely mediocre

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, Sept. 18,2003 12 a.m.

Andrew W.K. does for hard rock what the forefathers and subsequent imitators of the old school hip-hop game did for their respective genre -- lighten it up. With I Get Wet, and even more so with his latest, The Wolf, much of the doom and gloom inherent to metal is excised and replaced with schlocky '80s throwbacks and party-hearty sentiments.
