...Rolling Stone Bill Wyman a pack rat? The 65-year-old rocker tells PW that he collected a huge amount of memorabilia about the Stones over the years: "three million words on the computer, as well as attics and a barn full of physical stuff.

Back in 1995 British beef was big business, with 274,000 tons, worth $810 million, shipped around the world. Then BSE, or "mad cow" disease, laid waste to the industry. The French, who imported 100,000 tons annually, banned British beef, as did almost everyone else.
