...Incredible, isn't it? A woman went to visit her cousin in Cincinnati and she said, "Look, you're hanging the toilet paper wrong." Louise replied, "What do you mean?"

I figured this is a subject everybody can relate to, and it was -- well -- different. And I wondered, "How many people really care?" Then I thought, "I care, and I bet thousands of others do too."

Tawanah Jean Griggs, the young woman on the cover, was sitting on a sofa in her mother's home in Bartlesville, Okla., when her 20-year-old cousin fired a shotgun into her chest on May 1.

A cousin of Tennessee Senator Albert Gore, Dean variously referred to Mitchell as her father or stepfather after he began living with her widowed mother Mary Gore Dean. At HUD, Deborah Dean served as a sort of gatekeeper, controlling access to Pierce and enjoying wide powers to block projects. She told the Wall Street Journal that the rent-subsidies program was "set up and designed to be a political program ((and)) we ran it in a political manner...
