...announced his first run for the Senate in 1972. Carrying plastic lawn chairs and coolers, more than a thousand Democrats are pouring into the park, twice as many as have ever come to the party get-together in the past. As three generations of Bidens alight -- his mother, father, sister, wife and two of his three children -- the Senator is swamped by friends and the curious, all straining to get a glimpse of the man who vanished from sight seven months ago. In a blazer and an open-neck shirt that reveals a tiny scar, he looks like the healthiest...
...more facetious, the special effects toward the shoestring spectacular. Freddy now delivers double entendres like a James Bond boogeyman and devises custom-made tortures like the wardens of Room 101 in 1984. But he still represents the thing teens love to hate: Dad. "Freddy is the most ruthless primal father," says Craven. "The adult who wants to slash down the next generation." No keys to the car, Son.

Maggie gave up the chance to go to college to work at the nearby Silver Threads Nursing Home, where she remains a geriatric nursing assistant. He, quietly frustrated by knowing all there is to know about cutting 45 degrees angles in strips of wood, plays solitaire for relief. Maggie, the care giver, has found her niche propping the pillows and emptying the bedpans of the elderly. She is never bored...
...Pittsburgh Steelers' owner, Art Rooney, really the city of Pittsburgh's Art Rooney, died last week at 87, still penciling the racing form. Rooney shared his hugest track windfall with his brother, a China missionary who unknowingly repaid him in soybeans. Based on a Hong Kong weather report from Father Dan, Art made another big score in the commodities market. A saloonkeeper's son, he knew a remarkable variety of athletic pleasures. As a schoolboy football star, he basked in the attention of the Notre Dame coach Knute Rockne, though he went to Duquesne and Georgetown. Both the Chicago Cubs...
