...huge screen on the Caesars Palace stage reveals a Nevada billboard bearing a poster of Bette Midler. She's posed in a cute blue dress with a short skirt that shows off her indestructibly fabulous gams; her smile is so electric it could light every casino on the Strip. A donkey wanders past, seemingly unimpressed, as, in the distance, a storm gathers strength. It morphs into a tornado, sending croupiers and chorines whizzing across the skyscape like Miss Gulch over Kansas. The door to an airborne Port-A-Potty swings open and an Elvis impersonator falls out. Now the video...
...buildings, row after row, that were unlit. Outside town, people either trudged along the side of the road or rode bikes - many stopping to stare at our convoy. And every kilometer or so, there stood in the middle of the road a female traffic cop. Each wore an aqua-blue uniform and a fur-lined hat, stood ramrod straight and wielded a baton to point the way to drivers; all of them seemed tall, young and attractive - "a James Bond fantasy come to life," cracked one colleague on our bus.

The Danforth-Mitchell commission, perhaps, or O'Connor-Albright. But it has never worked that way, which is why Lincoln's statue occupies a marble temple on the Mall in Washington, while his far more experienced rival William Seward has a little seat...
...Prince Harry, the freckle-faced, ginger-haired, 23-year-old second son of Charles and Diana, third in line to the British throne, has long shown signs of impatience with the protocols and pomposity of royal life. He's been known to paint the town red and the air blue. He's cuddled kids with AIDS in Lesotho. And now he's taken keeping it real to a new level that's almost surreal: serving as a member of the Household Cavalry in Afghanistan's Helmand province...
