...most difficult things to do now? The most important thing is the toilet affairs. I can't do it for myself, and my wife has to help me. It's embarrassing. Another thing is bathing...eating...writing. I can urinate for myself now with no escort. I can't dress myself. I can't pray because I can't wash. I pray only at night when I'm going to sleep...
...asking for your help in a run for the Senate." Indeed, a year ago some people didn't imagine she would still be standing. Her face swollen behind dark sunglasses, using Chelsea as a human shield between her and the man who'd just been outed by a blue dress, she barely spoke to anyone, least of all to him. There was no celebrity-clogged birthday dinner, no golf, no singing Gershwin around the piano as in years past. It was, officially, a "healing" vacation, broken up by speeches asking for forgiveness.

The following year, in a ceremony complete with engraved invitations and traditional wedding dress, Aryan Nations chief Butler married them at the Aryan Nations headquarters. The only thing missing from the ceremony was a license from the state, an institution that the newlyweds (and their pastor) despised. Though she was against killing, Debra Mathews was deep into the Aryan Nations brand of Scripture. "When...
There's a long, strong history in R. and B. of female singers taking lovers to task. Pop music, of course, is full of songs about romance gone wrong, but when R.-and-B. divas dress men down, they're often a bit more real. Blues great Bessie Smith, in Hard Time Blues, sang about leaving a man with "dirty ways"; today Erykah Badu castigates her cell phone-hogging lover on her song Tyrone; TLC ridicules deadbeat men on No Scrubs, and the vocal group Destiny's Child cries out for men who can pay their girlfriends' Bills, Bills, Bills...
