...Richards' divorced parents were there: Doris, in from London, and Bert, in from New York. Also present were Patti's mother, sister, three brothers and a few fishermen. After the short ceremony, guests were treated to the mellow sounds of a mariachi band. Looks like this tuxedo-clad Stone, who turned 40 the same day, may finally be starting to slow down the beat...

...corrugated-tin wall at the back of the building. The opening led to a false wall, complete with a secret door. As they burst through the hardboard front, members of the 70-man police unit suddenly came upon two soundproof and unheated concrete cells. Inside each one a man, clad only in filthy pajamas, lay shivering on a mattress and manacled to the walls.

...Olympia, Wash., to bury their only son. He had died at 37, leaving a wife and two young children. The parents' first anxiety developed even before the funeral Mass began: many of the worshipers entered the nave with cries of joy, and the celebrant, Father Paul Dalton, was clad in festive mod vestments.
