...partner mounted six flights of stairs, passing drug dealers and crack addicts, in search of the mother in her late 20s who was reportedly neglecting her child. When they entered the apartment, they encountered mice and five filthy children, some naked, some half-dressed. Though Parent inspected the infant in question, he didn't unwrap the baby's blanket to look at the body or take the child to an emergency room. Four days later, the boy died of severe malnutrition. Although Parent was subsequently exonerated by an internal review board, he remains haunted by guilt. "I was holding this...
...prosecutors, Williams had been feigning pregnancy and a delivery date that coincided with Evans'. "[Williams' family] had a baby shower for her, and she never was pregnant," recalls Ward's friend. Williams told prosecutors she and Caffey longed for a lightskinned baby boy--presumably the sort of mixed-race infant that was about to be born to the white Evans.

The ability to see them in such unprecedented detail has told astronomers an enormous amount about how stars are born and why some are circled by planets and others are not. "People had come up with plausible theories about star birth," says Arizona State University astronomer Jeff Hester, leader of the team that took...
Yeah, sure--but wasn't it a wonderful life? It sure looks swell on TV. You'll see the infant Beatles in matching leather outfits (Lennon: "We looked like four Gene Vincents, or tried to"). Lennon talks of his love for Elvis--"a guy with long, greasy hair wigglin' his ass and singin' Hound Dog." Their long slog to the top (John and Paul met on July 6, 1957, so that by the time the Beatles hit the U.S. in 1964, their career together was already half over) gets a brisk treatment, lighting for but a moment on the specters...
