...glad to see next to our cornflakes, even after 50 years. All of Schulz's would-be successors flamed out. Berke Breathed was brilliant in "Bloom County" for a while, then retreated from the strip after an accident and could never recapture the magic with his next try, "Outland." "Calvin and Hobbes," surely the postmodern offspring of Lucy and Charlie Brown, delighted (Schulz himself was a fan) until Bill Waterson ran out of ideas and mercifully shut the thing down. Gary Trudeau tried taking a long break from "Doonesbury," only to return to find that, despite the occasional hilarious essay...
...give the man credit for insisting on working only with A-list talent. In the recording studio, SEAN ("PUFFY") COMBS has produced tracks for Madonna, Mariah Carey and girlfriend Jennifer Lopez. In the Hamptons, he sips Cristal with Martha Stewart and Calvin Klein. So why should he have anything but the best when it comes to legal representation? In anticipation of a weapons-felony indictment last week, Combs signed up attorneys Benjamin Brafman--who represented Mob turncoat Sammy ("the Bull") Gravano--and JOHNNIE COCHRAN (you may remember his work with a certain former football player).

There's a wonderful "Calvin and Hobbes" comic strip where Calvin wakes up in the middle of the night and calls loudly for his mother. Calvin's mother, wearing an old nightgown and a tired expression, comes in and asks what's going on.

Calvin's mother becomes understandably annoyed and storms out demanding that he go back to sleep. At this Calvin turns to Hobbes and says, "Actually, I wonder how people reproduce...
Private First Class Calvin Glover snuck into Private First Class Barry Winchell's room with a baseball bat during the pre-dawn hours of July 5. Just a few hours after drunkenly celebrating the anniversary of our nation's independence, Glover bludgeoned Winchell to death solely on the basis of Winchell's suspected homosexuality. Although a jury found Glover guilty of premeditated murder, the greater implications of this case reflect the failure of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy towards homosexual service members...
...been anyone else who stood up to Private Calvin Glover about his outrageous, macho bragging that summer night, things might have turned out differently. But it may have been just too humiliating to be challenged by Private First Class Barry Winchell, of all people. Glover was in full boast on the eve of July Fourth as he and his fellow soldiers drank beer around the concrete picnic table outside their barracks at Fort Campbell, Ky. "He would say he was on 'smack' since he was 10," Private First Class Nikita Sanarov said, "and had been on probation since...
