...European Capitals of Culture for 2008 (the other one, Stavanger in Norway, is even colder). It will be Ringo's first rooftop performance since the Beatles' final gig atop London's Apple Studios in January 1969. That day, enveloped in a scarlet coat and insulated by his thick mane of hair, he looked cold - and the moptop has long since been supplanted by a close-cropped style that will afford zero protection against a wintry Liverpool night...
...same special "Catturando" police unit that nabbed Provenzano in the hills of Corleone found the Lo Piccolos, and several other top Mafia figures, in a pair of well-furnished houses near the town of Cinisi, just west of Palermo. The senior Lo Piccolo, sporting a leather jacket and a mane of white hair and beard, shared only a vague resemblance with the most recent composite sketch.

Rich nowadays and in want of nothing material, what he'd like most for his birthday is a change of government. On this warm weekday afternoon, at a mall in Sydney...
...eventually approached my posse, to ask for a light. “So how do you like fuckin’ Harvard?” he asked me after finding out where I studied. He took a long drag out his cigarette and ran his dirty fingernails though his mane of unkempt curls—all in one smooth motion.I realized suddenly that the man was wearing Converse sneakers, skinny jeans that barely encased his rotund thighs, a “vintage” flannel shirt, and a fedora. It was an ironic hipster combination which would terrify any Harvard male...
...read "The Gray Wars" with smug amusement. When my glorious mane of auburn hair started turning gray more than 15 years ago, I tried to maintain it artificially and was mortified by the black-and-purple results. I had it hacked off, and that was the end of the bottle for me. Boomers need to realize that if we fulfill our life expectancy, we will be gray much longer than we were brunet, blond or auburn. Embrace the silver. People will choose to be around you if you are adventurous and love life. You can't buy that...
