...renouncing his Muslim faith. Rahman, 40, has become the poster boy for the Christian right and for religious freedom. Closer up, however, the picture painted by the local police who arrested him shows a candidate not quite ready for family values. Rather, a portrait emerges of a deadbeat dad with psychological problems who couldn't hold down a job, abused his daughters and parents and didn't pay child support...
...Girl with Peaches (1887, now in Moscow's Tretyakov Gallery) hangs right by the window in front of which the eponymous girl, Mamontov's daughter Vera, sat for the artist. The tranquility of these images is at odds with Abramtsevo's fractious history. In 1899, Vera's dad found himself accused of embezzlement and jailed. Although he was cleared by a Moscow court in 1900, the state seized his railways, and he was financially ruined. However, Mamontov held onto Abramtsevo, and he died and was buried there in 1918. The state turned it into a museum in 1919. The rest...
...WEEK AFTER THE NABISCO, AND YOU HAVE SAID YOUR GOAL IS TO PLAY AGAINST THE GUYS THERE SOMEDAY. It's totally my life's dream in golf, and I'm never going to give it up.

The star of Nickelodeon's Unfabulous and the new movie Aquamarine--who shares the broad, screen-ready smile of her aunt Julia (yes, that Julia)--plays the preppy, resourceful teen sleuth in next year's movie Nancy Drew. The plot has Nancy joining her dad on a business trip to Los Angeles and finding herself (by golly!) probing the death of a movie star. Roberts, 15, calls her character, first introduced in novels in the 1930s, "the Barbie of her time," meaning, we suppose, an icon. Either that or a well-dressed gal with lots...
...weird electric blue. I felt myself being sucked upward," she says. "It was like a twister.'' Karl thought the worst: "I heard this scream and then nothing. She's gone. She's been taken.'' Aden was sure he was going to die. "Don't let me go, Dad. Hold on,'' he begged, as he felt the wind pulling at him. For half an hour, the family huddled on the floor, until Larry's 40-km-wide eye suddenly arrived over Innisfail. It was about 7 a.m. Karl screamed frantically for his wife and was amazed when she screamed back. They...
