...work oil roughnecks and two grandmothers, a bookkeeper and a county jailer. Even a computer programmer. People with lives gone sour or careers on hold. People treading water, looking for a break. For them the open road beckons as a great new beginning. "I'll make my husband's $45,000 within two years," whispers Goodrum. She and a friend have enrolled so they can travel the country with their trucker husbands. An appliance technician is here because "there are too many technicians in Fort Worth." The pilot "wants to see life on the ground" and sock away a retirement...
Shortly after the Iran-contra scandal broke in late 1986, Nancy Reagan became concerned that her husband was not sufficiently alert to the political danger and arranged to have a few people brought in to explain things. To avoid publicity, the White House instructed the guests to report to the Treasury building. From there they were led through an underground tunnel to the adjacent White House. Robert S.

Some even provide bathrooms and beds for mourners...
WASHINGTON. After Vivienne McPherson's common-law husband was murdered in a shootout with rival drug dealers, she decided to take over his business. For four months she dealt crack out of her apartment at 2840 Robinson Place, in the rough southeast district. Then, in the words of a vice cop, she "messed up the money." A local Jamaican posse made her pay for the transgression. It was bad enough that McPherson, nine months pregnant, had been pumped with eight bullets while her neighbors watched, says a federal agent. But what really sickened the lawman is that "three...
