...mother, I came to see if my mother was on the plane," said a stunned young man, clutching a companion's hand at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport. Police whisked him across the street, where he was shown a piece of paper held by an official. The official nodded yes, creating yet another mourner for the 230 people who died off Long Island last week. What killed them? A mechanical malfunction? A technical failure had once sent another hardy Boeing 747 crashing into a Japanese mountain, killing more than 500 people. But this 747 had burst into...
...year ago, when ELTON JOHN's live-in companion, former ad exec David Furnish, began shooting a biography of the superstar rocker, no one expected much in the way of candor. After all, John was paying for the shoot and, having been burned in the past by stories of drug abuse, was acutely aware of the value of image control.

When Clinton launched his unlikely bid to unseat George Bush in 1991, Lindsey was his only traveling companion, and the two trekked anonymously through airports, carrying their own bags. Once in the White House, Clinton put him in charge of personnel, but his range has always been unlimited...
...digging cheerfully just now into her between-workouts morning diet supplement of--yes, cholesterol enthusiasts--hash-brown potatoes. And a fried egg, over easy. And a couple of griddle cakes, each the size of a catcher's mitt. All of which will jiggle around the middle of her breakfast companion, who's having the same. But in the white-hot furnace that drives Janet Evans, it will burn to ash well before her three hours of afternoon tank time are finished and her daily weight-room session begins...
