Perhaps figuring that Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley's split has left a gap in the market for odd matches, PRINCE has settled on a lifetime mate. The artist, formerly known as avidly polygynous, will marry MAYTE (pronounced my-tay) GARCIA, a Puerto Rican--born belly dancer and singer who has been a member of his backup group since 1992. The happy nuptials will take place in Paris on Valentine's Day, to the strains of Kamasutra, a symphony Prince has commissioned from his band, the New Power Generation.

Authorities say his group is notorious for both its murderousness and its capacity for dispensing bribes. The U.S. hailed the Mexican action as sign of increasing drug cooperation...
...would have become the second woman executed in the U.S. since capital punishment was reinstated in 1976, but hours before Guinevere Garcia's scheduled lethal injection, Illinois Governor Jim Edgar commuted her sentence to life in prison without parole. Edgar said he acted not because of Garcia's troubled background but because the case was one in which the punishment did not fit Garcia's 1991 crime of having killed her husband during a botched robbery...
