Byrd's body was found on the morning of June 7, torn apart as if some wild animal had set upon it. His torso was at the side of a country road. His head and an arm were just over a mile away, ripped from his body as it hit a concrete drainage culvert. Police marked a piece of flesh here, his dentures there, his keys somewhere else--75 red circles denoting body parts and belongings along a two-mile stretch of asphalt. Fingerprints were the only key to Byrd's identity. The night before, the 49-year-old African...
When asked how he's staying away from the needle, Justin produces a plastic medicine dropper and pokes his arm with it. "Calms me down," he says. "I quit smoking the same way, by sucking on a crayon." Like so many other Billings geeters--yet one more slang term--Justin is a teller of wild tales. He shows off the sunken veins in his arms and describes how he once had to gaff his shot of crank--inject it straight into his jugular vein--while watching himself in a rearview mirror.

Hovering in the mission's doorway, a sweatshirt hood drawn over his pale, thin face, is Dracula. That's what the others call him, and he answers to it.

The case's interior is obsessively decoupaged with tiny, interlocking pictures snipped from magazines...
...After many vials of blood have been taken from my arm, I am dressed in my patient's uniform--white polo shirt sporting the Cleveland Clinic logo and loose blue trousers--and seated across a desk from Dr. Richard Lang, section head of preventive medicine at Cleveland Clinic and my internist for the day. With unexpected deliberation, given the harried pace of American medicine, he spends the next hour questioning me--work, family, stresses, satisfactions, diet, diseases, sex life--progressing from the general to the specific. The goal of his detective work is to elicit hints of any underlying conditions...
...Then last year--just as she was tapped to share onscreen kisses with Ford in Disney's romantic comedy Six Days, Seven Nights--she met and fell in love with Ellen DeGeneres, TV's first openly gay leading actress. Overnight, the couple, showing up at premieres arm in arm, snuggling in front of the President at the White House correspondents' dinner, became a gossip columnist's dream and a public relations nightmare. And just as suddenly, Disney's frothy little summer vehicle for Ford became the bearer of a heavy burden: Would moviegoers accept Hollywood's first avowedly lesbian leading...
