...could prove as important as the printing press. That would make Berners-Lee comparable to, well, Gutenberg, more or less. Yet so far, most of the wealth and fame emanating from the Web have gone to people other than him. Marc Andreessen, co-founder of Netscape, drives a Mercedes-Benz and has graced the cover of several major magazines. Berners-Lee has graced the cover of none, and he drives a 13-year-old Volkswagen Rabbit. He has a smallish, barren office at M.I.T., where his nonprofit group, the World Wide Web Consortium, helps set technical standards...

Police say the killing was the result of a spontaneous and botched attempt to steal Cosby's $130,000 Mercedes-Benz. "It appears that robbery was the motive," L.A.P.D. chief Willie Williams said.

...paid newcomer in professional figure skating (with a $1.5 million contract, excluding endorsements and tours). "We've been trying to Americanize her as much as possible, and the U.S. public has responded very well," one of her agents, Michael Carlisle, told TIME last year. Baiul drove a green Mercedes-Benz and bought herself a $450,000 house in Simsbury, Connecticut. She posed for sexy fashion shoots, learned to go clubbing in Manhattan, and exhibited an aversion to seat belts. Baiul is just...
Ennis' body was found by police at about 1:45 a.m. lying in a pool of blood outside the driver's side of his Mercedes-Benz. The car's hazard lights were flashing, and both the passenger-side door and the trunk were open. He had apparently been changing a tire and had got as far as putting the spare on the car but had not finished replacing the lug nuts when he was killed by a single shot to the head. His body was discovered by a woman who says she saw a white male leaving the area...
