...ugly feud between his California record label, Death Row, and its East Coast competitor, Bad Boy. It was Death Row president Marion ("Suge") Knight who was driving his black BMW after the Tyson fight, with Shakur standing up through the sun roof. Four men rolled up in a white Cadillac, fired about 13 rounds, and sped away, losing the police in traffic. Knight told authorities his head was turned the other way at the key moment and he saw nothing. Said police spokesman Phil Roland: "We're puzzled that [his] whole entourage had their heads turned and didn...
...touch slower than her 17-year-old self, it's clear that she has not lost her extraordinary competitive toughness. She endorses Cadillac cars (as well as Speedo swim gear, Ray Ban sunglasses, PowerBars and Xerox), and in one ridiculous TV commercial, a deep-voiced announcer growls--as kettle drums roll, engines rumble and the screen flashes footage of Janet surging through the water--"She believes in controlled aggression!" Not really. What she really believes in is greasy-spoon breakfasts. But in mid-December, not quite three months before the U.S. team-selection trials, she tore ligaments in her left...
...happy farm for substance abusers. Thousands of people from across the country came to the manicured 325-acre "campus" to deal with their addictions to alcohol, drugs, food, sex or gambling among the saguaros and sagebrush in the foothills of Arizona's Santa Catalina mountains. It was a Cadillac of the substance-abuse centers, and a company-provided Cadillac at that: employee health insurance routinely covered most of the costs of the standard 30-day stay there.

Both movies explore what can be learned from exposing "normal" people to the Other and vice versa. The social experiment in "To Wong Foo" occurs in Snydersville, where our heroes stay while waiting for their ancient Cadillac to be repaired. Expectedly, the town is a backwater, the hotel is run-down and the townspeople are suspicious, ignorant and/or misogynistic, Of course there is conflict--it is dealt with; the whole town befriends the visitors, and the queens wave a tearful good-bye. Everyone, except the homophobic cop and the wife-beater, is a better person, and they all live happily...
...year-old retired welder with a long white beard and trembling hands, lives on Social Security and drinks a bottle of 151-proof Bacardi a day. He moved into the motel three months ago, after living in a casino parking lot for two years in his 1967 Cadillac. When his wife left him in 1986, Coyle had the names of his 16 children tattooed in a heart on his back; on his chest another tattoo reads I LOVE MY FAMILY. MARRIED OCT. 12, 1958, CITY TEMPLE, GRANITE CITY, ILL. PAUL AND JANET COYLE. "That way, if I died, they could...
