...brothers surely knew this was their last stand. Though Uday in particular was not known for his valor--"He doesn't kill anyone with his own hand. He is a coward," a longtime family servant recently told TIME--the shooting from the second story continued for more than an hour. At 1 p.m., American Kiowa helicopters spit rockets into the mansion while ground troops launched 40-mm grenades and 10 antitank TOW missiles. A group of soldiers entered the house again; it was quiet this time, save for a few shots from the bedroom fired by Qusay's son Mustafa...
DIED. ELISABETH WELCH, 99, American-born expatriate cabaret and jazz singer, adored by Cole Porter, Noel Coward and Paris cafe society; outside London. A hit on the London stage, she later took her mellow voice to New York City; she made a splash in Porter's New Yorkers by singing Love for Sale, a song about prostitution.

He was the fastest composer in the East; as Noel Coward said, mixing envy and awe, "The man positively pees melody." Speed was essential in the mid-20s, when Dick and Larry finally got cooking and, in 1926, produced 60 songs for six shows. But Rodgers didn't lose anything off his fast ball when he teamed with Hammerstein; it is said...
...story of the films is one of aristocratic Fred elevating shopgirl Ginger to his level, and of Ginger bringing Fred down to hers; each brings out the best in the other. Croce says of the team: "They weren't Alfred [Lunt] and Lynn [Fontanne] and they weren't Noel [Coward] and Gertie [Lawrence]; they were the two most divinely usual people in the history of movies." If that's the case, then Ginger is at the soul of the movie. She was divinely usual. He was, usually, divine...
