Forever is doing well because the Cassitys realized before anyone else in their glacially changing industry that many Americans would love to have their own A&E Biography. And not just "the terminally trendy," as a reporter described Forever's clients. Earl Essman, 72, a retired real estate manager and American Legion member, and his wife Marian, 71, decided in the fall of 1998 that they should make arrangements for their passing.

A tall man, Huff cautiously leads the charge, clutching Earl, hoping not to hurt him and praying not to get sued. He knows mental patients don't belong in small-town jails, but where else can they go? What else...
...career move. Luckily, John Paul's follow-up record is on the way. World Voice 2000, due out in September, will feature original prayers penned by the Holy Father and read by a list of stars that could double as the cast for Cannonball Run III, including JAMES EARL JONES, STEVEN TYLER of Aerosmith, DENNIS FRANZ, BRITNEY SPEARS, Brooke Shields and Jennifer Love Hewitt, to name just a few. "They were very concerned about their readings," says album producer Rick Garson. "They were like, 'Is the Pope gonna like it? Did I do okay?' " If not, we'll hear about...
