...people who want to help create a carefree, well-centered version of Genelle--and an inspirational Sept. 11 tale for the rest of us: Victim miraculously lives, turns to God, finds true love (in July, she and longtime boyfriend Roger McMillan had a free "dream wedding" arranged by Bride's magazine and CBS's The Early Show, an event both then covered as news). But her story isn't so simple. People say Sept. 11 was a crucible for our nation, which may or may not be true, but it was doubtlessly a crucible for the person...
Instead, Genelle's life has taken on a staged quality. For months this year, she worked with Bride's to plan her July 13 wedding ceremony--even though she and Roger had married on Nov. 7. (They went to City Hall to wed just before Genelle was baptized at the Brooklyn Tabernacle; she didn't want to be baptized while she was still a fornicator.)

She wakes up from a coma four years later and resolves to wreak vengeance by hunting down the killers in Bill's posse?a multinational Charlie's Angels-style trio called the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, played by Daryl...
Sixteen years before her death captured the world's attention, Diana's 1981 wedding to Prince Charles was a defining global event; we all watched as the shy young bride made her way down that aisle, trailed by what seemed like miles of white tulle. She looked utterly regal - and, in retrospect, utterly tragic. Who could resist such pageantry, such drama...
