Nonetheless, here are the boys of R.E.M.--Buck, Stipe and Mills--all lined up like talk-show guests in the offices of Warner Bros. Records. Stipe's bald, Buck's a little paunchy, and Mills has that unsettling Bob Costas thing going on where he appears both boyish and middle-aged. Great rock groups don't usually stick around for the gray hairs to come in; they're supposed to burn out, fade away, hey hey, my my, well whatever, never mind. In fact in 1998, when R.E.M. was finishing its last album, Up (its first without original drummer Bill...
...knew a man - short, bald, of undetectable charm - who was a virtual bigamist. He had a wife and family in the suburbs and something of the same arrangement, though without benefit of clergy, in town. He lived a complex double life - a secret agent in his own existence, half of him a stranger to the other half. Which was perhaps his way of keeping himself amused.

After one last rebellion, in A.D. 135, the Romans leveled Jerusalem, leaving only the bald platform behind. The city, of course, rose again and fell again, was conquered and reconquered...
...February 1997 it was four-year-old brother Garrett's turn. His ordeal was mercifully briefer. After four months, including 10 days of chemo, Garrett was out of the hospital--with a temporarily bald pate but a spanking-new immune system. Heartened, the UCLA doctors did a cord transplant on a third boy, Billy Bodine, 11, to correct a similarly inherited immune deficiency called X-linked hyper-immunoglobin M syndrome...
