DIED. WAYLON JENNINGS, 64, gristly Grammy-winning country "outlaw" who recorded Nashville's first platinum album (Wanted: The Outlaws); of a diabetes-related illness; in Chandler, Ariz. With his black Stetson and brash persona, Jennings, along with Willie Nelson, led country's outlaw movement of the late '60s and early '70s--a honky-tonk response to country's slick pop sound.

His personal life was equally unremarkable. Married with two kids and a Labrador, he attended services...
...agree with the need to increase airport security, but since Sept. 11, people have been making some brash claims. They claimed irony is dead, which is sort of true. Richard Irony, age 93, passed away in his home on Sept. 15 while watching an infomercial for a food dehydrator guaranteed to help one live until his or her 94th birthday.
