...waged a $35 million campaign against vulnerable GOP freshmen and the Republican positions on Medicare, education and the minimum wage. At the top of the union's target list is Arizona's 6th District, which stretches from the Phoenix suburbs north to the Utah border. Representative J.D. Hayworth, a former college football player and sportscaster, is locked in a tight race with Steve Owens, a former aide to then Senator Al Gore. The AFL-CIO has spent nearly $2 million on a television advertising blitz and organizing a grassroots campaign against Hayworth, who voted against a minimum wage increase...

For Christmas 1956, 12-year-old REBECCA WELLES, Orson's daughter by Rita Hayworth, got a picture book about the festival of Les Bravades in St. Tropez, written and illustrated by her dad.

William Jenkinson, a self-described investigative historian, attempted to quantify Ruth's home-run prowess, dropping such impressive phrases as "drag coefficient" and "fast-twitch muscle fiber." A more direct analysis was offered by Ray Hayworth, a Detroit Tigers catcher during Ruth's era who had the advantage of watching the superstar in action from inches away. "Babe was just great," Hayworth explained. "It always amazed me that when he'd swing, you could hear the bat actually grind in his hands...
...year-old Parisian modeling agency Pauline's, "but I could easily envision Meryl Streep doing it with her children. Models seem more untouchable. People need glamour; they need to dream." Says designer Isaac Mizrahi: "When my mother was a little girl, she wanted to grow up and be Rita Hayworth or a ballerina. Now all the little girls want to be Linda Evangelista or Naomi Campbell. I don't think girls today want to grow up to be Jennifer Jason Leigh...
