A simple parish priest delivers a worldly homily: "All the emotions have something in common. People are quite aware of the sorrow there always is in lust, but they are not so aware of the lust there is in sorrow...

"The roles get lost in Harrison," says Carrie Fisher, the Princess Leia of the Star Wars series. "I don't think that there...
...fixed in place before engineers rematched the stone. That band is noticeable today. In December 1884, a 100-oz. aluminum cap was placed on the spike-shaped peak. Then on a wintry Saturday morning in February, the dapper President Chester Arthur, according to a contemporary account, "laid his silk hat at his side, slowly removed his heavy doeskin gloves and deposited them in it, held his eyeglasses on his nose" and read the official dedication.
