Credit where credit is due: before Paul Oakenfold’s mug and shades graced MTV’s cotton candy airwaves, the man was a bona-fide pioneer. As the DJ behind such culture-defining parties as Future and Land of Oz at London superclub Heaven, Oakenfold was once at rave music’s very forefront. His production work on the Happy Mondays’ Pills ‘n’ Thrills and Bellyaches foresaw Ecstasy culture’s invasion of pop art, and his genre-hopping 1994 Goa Mix broke boundaries. Let no one question...
...form in which even an adolescent, Lil Bow Wow, 15, has to worry about overstaying his welcome (he recently dropped the Lil in hopes of fashioning a fresh image), LL Cool J, 34, is a bona fide curiosity: the world's oldest living rapper.

...home for months." Three people, including Fasulo, were killed, and another 29 were injured. As the world tuned in and President George W. Bush received regular briefings, Milan tried to make sense of its unwanted attention and the improbable gash in Il Pirellone (big Pirelli), Italy's first bona fide skyscraper, now owned by the Lombardy government. Though terrorism had been ruled out, many in Milan continued to wonder if the building was not a target in some other way. Maurizio Invernizzi came to the site to "try to figure out the mechanics" of the crash. "That it was simply...
