...legislature's budget. Those were impassioned, partisan days; the morning of the vote, one Democrat opened the session by praying, "May the nays be forgiven." When du Pont lost, his aides were distraught and defiant. Not the Governor. "He was very, very quiet," recalls Nathan Hayward III, a second cousin who was then head of Delaware's economic development office. Du Pont shifted to a more conciliatory approach that eventually won over the legislature and even labor...
...deep trouble. His enemies on the Liqoqo had rallied against him, leading to Mfanasibili's trial and subsequent conviction on charges of framing his political opponents. He was given a seven-year jail sentence. Five months later Mswati, in a spirited gesture of independence, fired his Prime Minister and cousin, Bhekimpi Dlamini, before a crowd of thousands, and then appointed a former personal bodyguard to the job. Finally, in May the King ordered the arrest and detention of Bhekimpi and eleven others, including five princes and princesses, a Cabinet minister and the former national ombudsman. Trial dates have not been...
...Jerry Seinfeld, 33, who grew up in the Long Island town of Massapequa ("an Indian name which means 'by the mall' "), might be Leno's suburban-preppie cousin. The two are similar in style and subject matter, although Seinfeld has a softer edge.

His musings on childhood are especially evocative, whether conveying a five-year-old's restlessness at being...
...addition to musicals, the West End offers one surprise delight that is, rather, a play with music. Up on the Roof is a British cousin to The Big Chill, an unpretentious glimpse of the evolving bond among five friends at college graduation in 1975, a wedding in 1980 and a tenth reunion. They meet as members of an a cappella rock group and often break into semi-oldies song: the sweet, sentimental arrangements, unaccompanied by a band and therefore a realistic part of the action, aptly comment on their changing lives. The appealing cast, which helped write the show...
Over the next 13 years as intelligence chief, Noriega acquired a host of enemies and earned the unaffectionate nickname "Pineapple Face," after his acne-scarred complexion. Not least on his enemies list is Colonel Roberto Diaz Herrera, 49, a Torrijos cousin whose own professional climb was blocked by Noriega's rapid promotion. Upon his forced retirement last month as second in command of the Defense Forces, Diaz summoned reporters to his home and charged Noriega with several crimes, including helping to arrange the 1981 plane crash in which Torrijos was killed. Last week Diaz deflected several summonses to appear...
