June 29, 2003 LIZ PHAIR Chicken Little's Tale To the Editor: Re "Liz Phair's Exile in Avril-ville" by Meghan O'Rourke [June 22]: Once upon a time there was a writer named Chicken Little.

"The sky is falling! The sky is falling!" she shrieked, spilling green tea and vodka all over her work station. This commotion awoke her three readers, who lived with her in her hut,...

The last Super Bowl By Hunter S. Thompson Page 2 columnist Wartime Super Bowls are always dismal and lame -- if they happen at all -- due to "tragic National Security disasters that we cannot, of course, disclose to you at this time, because of etc, etc, etc."…. Alas, I know that story well. It happens every time you find a huge police agency seizing control of all sporting events, in this country or any other. Indeed. But that is what happens in War-time, eh? Yes sir, the War Machine comes in and takes whatever measures are Necessary to make...

Jerry Seinfeld has always steadfastly denied being the prankster. The letters started arriving in the mid-1990s - courteous, neatly-typed missives showing up in the in-trays of hotel managers, tourist attractions and airline customer-service departments across the United States. In some cases, the writer was a prospective guest with special requirements - would it be all right if he dressed as a giant shrimp while gambling at the blackjack tables of the Flamingo Hilton Inn in Las Vegas, for example? (The answer was no, by the way: "We feel that because of the high level of activity created by the outfit,...
