TOMKAT'S BABY MISSION: ACCOMPLISHED His gift of a sonogram machine. Her preparations for a Scientology-approved silent birth. Their horde of midwife-like paparazzi, breathlessly awaiting the first contractions. "It was everything that we wanted it to be," TOM CRUISE told 20/20 on the birth of his daughter Suri, with fiancé KATIE HOLMES. "It was spiritual. It was powerful. It was indescribable. What words can you use? It's still something that I'm processing and keep reliving." The couple said the baby's name means "red rose" in Persian, which it does, and "princess" in Hebrew--which...

That would not describe the majority of self-identifying American Catholics, who are distinctly postconciliar, with more than 75% opposing the birth-control ban.

They feel abandoned, says Allen, "and whenever you feel that way, there's a natural desire to find...
After 43 years, Bernardo Provenzano, the Sicilian Mafia's elusive capo dei capi, the boss of bosses, was run to ground just a mile west of the town of his birth, Corleone, a place made famous by the fictional protagonists in Mario Puzo's saga The Godfather. Provenzano had run the enormous La Cosa Nostra crime organization by way of messages on slips of paper, called pizzini, smuggled out from his hiding places over the years. But Cortese finally found him by following peripatetic packages of clean laundry from the home of Provenzano's wife in Corleone. Each delivery...
