...Tickets were too pricey; lots of fans were getting cut out. Disorganization and ill will were rampant. Greed was keeping pace with showmanship and good p.r. manners, and seemed to be gaining on both. So when Michael and four of his brothers took the stage last Friday night at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., for the first show of a tour that will wind on into autumn, a lot was hanging in the balance...
This is not the usual rock show. Certainly it is not the usual rock-show audience. Perhaps no major entertainer has ever attracted as many preadolescent children as Michael Jackson has. At Arrowhead the audience of approximately 45,000 was filled with them, staring enraptured at all the whiz-bang effects. The older ones danced on their seats. The younger ones bopped around in the arms of their equally delighted parents.

...Cleveland, where Paul was born in 1925. He was the second son of Arthur S. Newman, a prosperous Jewish partner in a sporting-goods store, and Theresa Fetzer, a Hungarian-descended Catholic.

"The title of my album Mistaken Identity is really a statement of the direction I want to go," she explains. That does not mean she wants to be misunderstood but rather that she feels she has been misunderstood for too long...
...centuries before the Israelis captured the Sinai during the Six-Day War of 1967, the 24,000-sq.-mi., arrowhead-shaped peninsula (twice the size of Belgium) was pretty much a forgotten wasteland. As late as 1967, its population was only about 50,000, including 10,000 Bedouins and perhaps 40,000 Palestinians and Egyptians who lived in the town of El Arish near the Israeli border. The Egyptians, who have had a somewhat vaguely defined sovereignty over the area since 1906, developed some oilfields in the Sinai, but for the most part they preferred to preserve...
