Last year he was denounced by Dan Quayle himself after a car thief who murdered a Texas state trooper claimed to have been inspired by Shakur's debut album, 2Pacalypse Now. Though the jury didn't buy that defense in the killer's trial, the trooper's widow brought a multimillion-dollar product-liability suit against Shakur. For his part, Shakur has a $10 million civil rights suit against the Oakland, California, police department, in which he claims that...

...turf. She lives with her husband, German novelist Fred Viebahn, and their 10-year-old daughter Aviva on a wooded hillside near Charlottesville, Virginia, a 15-minute drive from Monticello. She teaches creative writing at the University of Virginia, which Jefferson founded. And last week she made her public debut as poet laureate by reading from her passionately lyrical stanzas in the Jefferson Building of the Library of Congress in Washington, whose vast collection was replenished by 6,000 volumes purchased from Jefferson's library after the British burned the U.S. Capitol during...
