...some of the richest people on the planet, the foul-mouthed ruffian with a sublime eye and adroit hands. His death on Feb. 11 at the age of 40 was in keeping with this theme: on the cusp of showing a new collection at Paris fashion week, the head of his own profitable label could apparently see no joy in what lay before him. McQueen died the same way he did everything else: unexpectedly, controversially and as unbelievably as possible...

...come to a point where the grandchildren of the first Head of the Judiciary of the Islamic Republic, the innocent martyr Ayatullah Beheshti, must be without their parents during the 10 Days of Dawn [a reference to the celebration of the revolution's anniversary] and must live underground in fear of the security forces," said Rafsanjani, according to the story, presumably before turning on his heels and storming out of the Supreme Leader's presence with a swish of his cleric's robes.

Such a policy simply isn't reasonable and lacks public support," says Pieter Cleppe, head of the Brussels office of Open Europe, a think tank that opposes greater centralization of power in the E.U.

The injuries were not as serious as originally feared, and she was able to race two days later. Alarmingly, Vonn considers this current situation worse. "I feel like, with a back injury, it's easier to push through," she says. "With a shin injury, there's no way around...
