LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
ore hype on the looming Y2K crisis, this time a humorous look
at the event from Austin Chronicle. Mr. Smarty Pants explores
whether there is actually any relevance to the upcoming year 2000,
or if it is just a fluke of history in "Party Like It's 2659."
Meredith Phillips looks at the state of her life in regards to
the upcoming chaos in "Etiquette for the End of the World."
Tucson Weekly's Emil Franzi takes a stroll through the booby-trapped obstacle course that has become the impeachment
process. No matter how you slice it, Franzi says that independent
counsel involvement has soured the milk. Meanwhile, Captain Opinion
runs down the ways politicians really ought to handle their constituents
in "Stop Being Stupid."
Also this week: FCC regulation of low-power radio, commercialization of national parks,
and new autos from Asia.
