...cousin J.W. Brown (who played bass in his touring band) - had been his wife since December 12, 1957. Jerry Lee was used to hell breaking loose around him, but usually he was the one who opened its cage. Now he looked pale and defenseless in the tabloid press's glare. The Rank theater chain canceled his bookings, he returned to the U.S. to find the reception no kinder, and the bride and groom found themselves the Monica-and-Bill of the '50s.

...reveries would Korea, a team that had not won a single World Cup match in nearly five decades, cruise into the semifinals of this year's tournament. An insular nation used to squatting on the international sidelines has discovered that the whole world is watching?and Korea can glare right back. "We've never been proud of our country before," says Sue Park, who runs her own public relations company in Seoul. "We've had so many political problems, corruption, wars, even being divided between North and South. But today, I am so proud to be Korean...
