...through 11, though exceptions are occasionally allowed. A $300-a-person fee covers the entire three-day Space Camp parent-child program, including meals and housing (guests stay in a dormitory-style facility and are separated by gender). Families that don't like the idea of sleeping in bunk beds can stay at any nearby hotel and join the rest of the group for programs and activities. One good bet: the Ramada Inn at Kennedy Space Center, which gives Space Camp participants a special rate ($49.50 for a double room...

...last week, in that spacious rancho Santa Fe mansion, with the bougainvillaea in full bloom outside, 39 bodies were laid out on their backs on bunk beds, looking like so many laboratory specimens pinned neatly to a board. Each was dressed in black pants, flowing black shirt, spanking-new black Nikes. Those who wore glasses had them neatly folded next to their body. It was a remarkably well-choreographed departure. But the largest mass suicide in U.S. history blasted the doors wide open onto a considerably less tidy world--a jumbled universe of UFOs and extraterrestrials careening smack into apocalyptic...

...Frank Rizzo, add a touch of Yosemite Sam and you get Sheriff Joe. And right now the boss hog, who averages a speech a day and makes Madonna look like a media wallflower, is wowing the retirees with lines about how he'd hate to be in a top bunk tonight...
