...close friends of JOHN and PATSY RAMSEY, were the hosts at a Christmas dinner for the family the night JonBenet was killed and were among the last to see the six-year-old alive. The next day, White was among the first people summoned when Patsy discovered her daughter was missing, and he was close by John in the basement a few hours later when the body was found. But in the days following the murder, there was a bitter falling-out between the two men, with sharp words exchanged at the time of JonBenet's funeral. White was reportedly...
...array of sportsman's toys and a retinue of family, friends and assistants. "To work with Jimmy," says pilot Jim Powell, "you've got to think and whistle at the same time."

True, my daughter Becky and I don't "look alike" (an issue on people's minds last week, as if physical resemblance somehow legitimizes or alters the parent-child bond). But I assure you, Becky's claim on me is exclusive and has been in evidence since the age of 14 months, when she raced across a room yelling, "My mommy!" then tried to shove a child off my lap.
