When one-year-old Gloria Maria Fajardo and her family left Cuba for America, Cuba never really left them. Gloria's father, Jose Manuel, had been a motorcycle escort for the wife of Cuban ruler Fulgencio Batista, so when the President was overthrown by Fidel Castro in 1958, the Fajardo family fled Havana on a $21 round-trip flight. But once in the U.S., Jose Manuel became restless, itinerant, dreaming of Cuba. He participated in the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 and was thrown into a Cuban prison. Released after two years, he later went to Vietnam with...
Which is another element of her success: rather than bring the subject matter down to the audience, she is bringing the audience up to the subject matter, making it worthy of the effort it requires. Sure it's easier to identify with Gloria Steinem, who admits she once lived in an apartment for four years before realizing the oven didn't work. By making the impossible purchasable--at least in magazine and catalog form--Stewart is now simply Martha: cooking, sewing, gilding, planting, wallpapering and painting her way into every corner of your house--and your life.

Like most of the women who populate cable erotica, Emmanuelle limns the fantasies and calls the shots. There we have it: sex goddesses Gloria Steinem can love...
...both Pat Sajak and Vanna White took turns carrying the torch as it began its 15,000-mile journey from Los Angeles to Atlanta. Ten thousand other people have been chosen as well, including runners, ordinary folks and such celebrities as Olympians Janet Evans and Sugar Ray Leonard. (Though Gloria Estefan hasn't quite confirmed, Billy Ray Cyrus had to decline the opportunity, and Jeopardy's Alex Trebek won't turn up till the very end.) There will be no loneliness for these long-distance runners. For the most part, they will be cocooned by an entourage of 12 vehicles...
