What West calls "a splintering" occurred as they grew up, got driver's licenses, married and moved away. Then in 1991 West was the host of a 60th birthday party at his house in Los Angeles for one of the boys, New York City--based brick salesman Elliott Liss.

...Institute in Berlin. "I think both sides need each other in different ways, they have different priorities and objectives." But others - including retired Marine General Anthony Zinni, head of the U.S. Central Command from 1997 to 2000 - see a political message behind the recall, announced one week before the 60th anniversary of the U.S. liberation of Paris.
