Unfortunately for Kirshner and his fellow astronomers, who hope to find answers to a variety of astronomical questions from studying these stellar explosions, observable supernovae do not occur very often. In fact, 1987 was the first time since 1604 that Earth dwellers witnessed an actual explosion close enough to the Earth to be seen with the naked eye, Kirshner said, thus making the event the first young supernova to be carefully analyzed with modern scientific equipment. Astronomers, including Kirshner, are still collecting data from the phenomenon, called 1987A...
...world's spiffiest private yacht, the 282-ft. Trump Princess, "the finest piece of art on water," which once belonged to fallen fellow dealmaker Adnan Khashoggi. Cost: $29 million.

They must have seemed pipe dreams at the Pasadena Playhouse, where Hackman took acting classes in the mid-'50s; the school voted him, and fellow student Dustin Hoffman, Least Likely to Succeed. A decade of small parts and menial jobs kept him going until 1964, when he scored in the Broadway comedy Any Wednesday. Three years later he made a screen impact in Bonnie and Clyde, and Hackman could finally support his wife Faye and three children from his actor's earnings. The couple were divorced in 1985, after 30 years of marriage. "Acting is a selfish profession," he says...
...setting is an upscale exurban village on the Hudson River. Ian McCullough is a senior fellow at a rather grandly named think tank, the Institute for Independent Research in the Social Sciences. He specializes in population studies and also edits a prestigious journal on international politics. Glynnis, his wife of 26 years, has compiled two successful cookbooks and is working on a third, an ambitious survey to be called American Appetites; Regional American Cooking from Alaska to Hawaii. The McCulloughs have a circle of close friends very much like themselves: well educated, well- to-do, well regarded by their professional...
