...From the beginning, the public's infatuation with Diana played like an ill-fated love affair: She made us work hard for a few peeks at candor, and we loved her even more for her unavailability. For all her claims of reticence, and despite her famous blush, Princess Diana was hardly camera-shy. She knew exactly how to work the lens, and over the years learned to make it conform to her many moods: flirtatious, sullen, playful, frustrated. Her face was famously kaleidoscopic - full of life, constantly changing. It was this ever-percolating energy that made her such...
...Take John F. Kennedy High School, which at first blush is a picture of integration, with 21% white students, 22% black, 35% Asian and 16% Latino (the remainder are primarily Pacific Islanders, Filipinos and American Indians). J.F.K. routinely ships top graduates to Ivy League schools. But while the typical Asian kid has a 3.01 grade-point average, African-American kids score 1.85. What's going on? School district superintendent Jim Sweeney attributes the gap to class differences. J.F.K. students come from two neighborhoods-a middle-class area known as the Pocket, and a low-income, predominantly black and Hispanic part...
...first blush, the idea of a tennis champ's making a meaningful contribution to the craft of acting sounds about as plausible as Robert Downey Jr.'s winning the U.S. Open.

Alas, being a professional athlete is more time-consuming than bartending or waitressing, the usual day jobs for aspiring actresses. "A lot of people want me, but my schedule right now is kind of conflicting with my acting," she said...
Cloyd was not one of them. The Breathalyzer tests he and Hughes took in Miami suggest a bender that would make a frat house blush. America West bars pilots from drinking 12 hours before a flight; FAA rules say eight hours. Florida's legal blood-alcohol limit is .08. After he allegedly drank much of the night of June 30 in Miami's Coconut Grove section, say police, Cloyd's blood-alcohol level was still .091 the next morning, even as he was about to pilot the 10:38 a.m. flight. Hughes' was .084. Miami airport guards...
...years. But it's a good thing the Moguls, who were lopping off the heads of idolatrous sculptures in their rampage across northern India, never found them. They would have been apoplectic with rage at the temples' stone figures communing in sexual positions that would make a Pattaya prostitute blush...
