That first set of bones may actually have come from two women (oops), but two weeks ago, the scientists found a full skeleton farther down, a 5-ft. 4-in. male whose location and orientation in the grave may indicate high importance. Balancing on the leg bones, says expedition leader Richard Freund of the University of Hartford, was a pot in the style of the 1st century A.D., which places the find in the right era. "There are 1,212 burials at Qumran, but there's only one like this," says Freund. He thinks the bones belong to the Teacher...
...French village of Ramatuelle to the sparkling Mediterranean waters off Saint-Tropez snakes down through an idyllic jumble of twisted holm oak trees, jagged white rock, sunbaked farmhouses and acres of lush green vineyards. But this scenic stretch of Route Départementale 61 could also be lined with grave markers and memorials to drivers like Francis Manzoni. One February afternoon, a local youth who'd been drinking attempted to pass another car on a curve, lost control and hit Manzoni's auto head on - killing him instantly. The accident was iconic of a plague tormenting the entire nation...
...Victor for $25,000. He says he never regretted the decision, never looked back. He soon had another rockabilly prodigy, Carl Perkins, whose "Blue Suede Shoes" kicked some serious chart butt: #1 country & western, #2 pop and rhythm 'n blues.

Charlie Rich came...
...brother Merrill (Joaquin Phoenix): gigantic crop circles. Are they an elaborate prank or the harbinger of an alien race's intervention? Given M. Night Shyamalan's earlier hits (The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable), you can forget prank. The writer-director wants you to believe in signs, from beyond the grave or the solar system, from the Bible or a good man's troubled heart - for Graham is still in mourning for his wife's death...
...white vision of untouched nature, William Eggleston's pictures throw a colorful light on the incidentals of human life in the American South. When he goes to a desert, as he did in 2000, he doesn't lift up his eyes to the hills but takes in a grave, a rusty sign, a passing freight train, an abandoned suitcase lying open on the ground. And instead of composing his images formally he seems to snap at random, cutting off people's heads or tilting the horizon. Sometimes he doesn't even look through the viewfinder, but aims high...
