...Bartleys have, for example, the original sign for the now defunct Brattle Square T stop. Bumper stickers trumpet the campaign of Representative Joseph P. Kennedy...
...clenched-fist salute and the pinched smile were familiar, but the performance was mere bravado. Erich Honecker, 79, once the leader of the defunct German Democratic Republic, made a small show of defiance as he walked out of the Chilean embassy in Moscow after seven months spent in asylum there. Only a small crowd of supporters were on hand as he left for Berlin, where he can expect to stand trial on 49 charges of manslaughter.

...over Lockerbie, Scotland -- and it was a whopper. The family of Robert Pagnucco, an assistant general counsel at PepsiCo and one of the 270 people killed in the terrorist bombing, was granted $9.2 million.

Chickens and goats pause in the road along Sugar Orchard Creek, and neighbors glare warily at unfamiliar visitors. The Grand Wizard's home, a weathered cedar dwelling and several ramshackle outbuildings, is built on 100 forested acres. Inside, Robb's pleasant wife, Muriel, prepares dinner while Oprah chatters away on a TV set in the cluttered living room. One son, Jason, 18, ponders his homework; another son, Nathan, 21, hauls...
