...Workers in the Vineyard TIME's July 17 issue reported that wines are being put out by everyone from golf pros to porn stars. Long before the celebrity marketing trend, bottles bore the names of our Nov. 27, 1972, cover boys, Ernest and Julio Gallo, the post-Prohibition pioneers of the U.S. wine industry...
...Other performers must have dreamed of talking onstage they way they did in their dressing rooms, living rooms, bar rooms, bedrooms. But for whatever reason ? because they didn't trust their ad-libability, or because they thought they'd alienate, shock or bore their audience, or because they feared police hassles ? they didn't.

...satellite television with her guard. For the following 82 days of captivity, Carroll, then 28, was moved to six separate safe houses.

She says there was never any question that she'd start a new family. "I knew nobody could call me Mom anymore, but I was still Mom in my heart," she says. "I felt...

He also built a multimedia juggernaut: the hard-drinking, gleefully sadistic Hammer inspired film noir (Kiss Me, Deadly), made-for-TV movies and three TV series. The author, who got his start in comic books, bore similarities to his cavalier hero ("I don't give a hoot about ... reviews. What I want to read are royalty checks," he liked to say) but revealed a softer, subtler side in the '70s and '80s, writing two well-received children's books and parodying his macho image...
