...Condon had one worry: "I needed to know she could become a restrained, sedate character," he says. Once the singer proved she could put a clamp on the amps, Condon picked Tony winner ANIKA NONI ROSE, left, and American Idol's JENNIFER HUDSON to fill out the Dreams, a 1960s group loosely based on the Supremes.

...hardly alone. Of the more than 75 million baby boomers who came of age in the 1960s and '70s, millions experimented with drugs during their impressionable teenage years, and millions went on to enter middle age--and are now headed into their senior years--with decades-long addictions.

On Saturdays, the bell rings as if it were a weekday, but stop by 1 p.m. because the University holds some Saturday classes, according to Reverend Peter J. Gomes, who is Plummer professor of Christian morals and The Memorial Church?...
...DIED. YAO WENYUAN, 74, the last surviving member of China's Gang of Four, the ring of radical Maoists?led by Mao Zedong's wife Jiang Qing?who directed the jailings, beatings and purges of legions of moderates and other perceived enemies during the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s and '70s; in a location undisclosed by Chinese officials.
