FRONT OF BOOK Letters: Eschewing the normal Letters format, The Stranger has decided to instead squander "valuable" print space by tearing apart one of its readers... Last Days: Didn't read... NEWS News Lead: Bland, uninteresting--has Mr. Feit lost his nose for good news?... News Follow(s): I find it ironic that The Stranger would run a story about squabbling between two newspapers given their continual immature slapping at the Seattle Weekly; Monorail, blah, blah, blah; Didn't read; Didn't read... Five to Four: Mr. Feit returns to his usual mean-spirited form after last week's welcome reprieve... SHORT FEATURE: The Stranger finally runs a positive sports-related article, despite its foul-mouthed headline. Too bad Bradley Steinbacher penned it... FEATURE Long, somewhat technical (couldn't finish)... FILM Mr. Lippens tones down his usual long-winded act... Film Follow: Didn't read... BOOKS See Music... ART A full-fledged art review (did art galleries threaten to pull advertising?)... THEATER Didn't read... CHOW Didn't read... MUSIC Music Lead: Devoting the entire music section to music-related books instead of actual musicians shows yet again just how much disdain The Stranger harbors for the local music scene... Music Follow(s): See Music Lead... ETC. It's My Party: Didn't read... Celeb I Saw U: Too gay... I Love TV: Didn't read... Savage Love: Mr. Savage finds himself in trouble with his readers (is anyone surprised?)... Control Tower: Didn't read... Obits: Didn't read.
