TODAY'S CROSSWORD TODAY'S ZODIAC

The attack of the Mouse Potato

Welcome to the World of the Mouse Potato. This new species travels all over the world -- without leaving its seat. Like its counterpart, the Couch Potato, they spend hours squinting at the screen. But instead of clutching a remote control, they fervently -- almost religiously -- click at a mouse. They are the knights of the digital order.

Queen's annus traumaticus

If Queen Elizabeth considered 1992 her "annus horribilis" with the Windsor Castle fire and the breakdown of her two sons' marriages, then 1997 will be remembered as her "annus traumaticus" marked by the death of Princess Diana which shook the world's oldest monarchy to its foundations.

Two hours to party

These are busy times. So busy that the year has zipped past and before you know it, it's time to welcome 1998. And what better way to beat the end-of-the-year blues than with a short break -- before you fling yourself into next year's frenzy.
