...Holiday Inn and the guide, 21-year-old Diane Piecara, boasts of the anniverary: "You are making history today." Her bus includes half a dozen Canadians and a few Norwegians, infants, and grandmothers. But mostly there are middleaged, middle-American women, wearing shorts or double-knit slacks. Their hair is bouffant or stiffly curled. Diane points out the Loews Palace cinema "where Elvis was fired from his first job for fighting another usher over the girl who sold popcorn." There are "ooohs" and "aaahs" mixed with the click-flash-buzz of Polaroids and Instamatics. The bus makes twelve more stops...
...country, yet he sometimes seems strangely isolated. One day last week he stood alone in the kitchen of his house in McLean, Va., turning a couple of steaks in the broiler. His red-checked shirt was open to the waist of his khaki slacks, revealing a thick mat of hair, now graying. The huge house echoed with memories, but now it was empty and still. Kennedy's wife had been living in Boston, away from the family for more than a year, and his children were at Cape Cod for the summer...
...communal group's lifestyle soon brought objections from neighbors. Members refuse to bathe with soap, and many wear their hair in unkempt dreadlocks. They "recycle" their refuse by dumping it in the yard, a practice that attracts hordes of rats. MOVE mothers give birth naturally, biting off their babies' umbilical cords.

Members also reject burial; at one point they showed reporters the shriveled corpse of a month-old baby who had died from undisclosed causes...
Bruce David Longo, 39, stood 6 ft. 4 in., weighed an intimidating 300 lbs., wore his dark hair in a long pigtail and maintained that he was in fact the Holy Ghost, Jesus Christ and God. Excommunicated by the Mormon Church, he began calling himself Immanuel David and became the leader of a religious cult consisting of about 20 friends, his Swedish-born wife Rachel and their seven children. Eighteen months ago, the family moved from Duchesne, Utah, to Salt Lake City, where they eventually settled in a $95-a-day, three-room suite at the International Dunes Hotel. They...
...Unlike Yeats, Joyce and Eliot, the great modernists whom he coached and championed, Pound never prepared a public face. Even at 83, he remained unsmiling and ill at ease in front of the camera, although he had come to look like the personification of an aging bard. His unruly hair had whitened into a mane, and his face bore lines and wrinkles beyond the mere ravages of time. In "Hugh Selwyn Mauberley" (1920) Pound had praised "the obscure reveries of the inward gaze." As these pictures prove, it became his characteristic expression...
