...sensitive boy whose parents divorced brutally and who then lost his mom (she affectionately called him "the naughty one") might be expected to act up a bit. The worry, for those who guard the monarchy, is whether Harry is doomed to repeat himself. The temptations--harder drugs, indiscreet women--are infinite, while his future occupation is a yawning void: if not a polo-playing, ribbon-cutting, organic farmer like his dad, what will he become? The younger siblings in royal families "are almost always neglected," says Harold Brooks-Baker, publishing director of Burke's Peerage. "Instead of going to pubs...
...chunky football dad (and youth-league coach) assaulted a nine-year-old player. In 2000, a Staten Island, N.Y., father broke the nose of his 10-year-old's coach with a hockey stick. And it ain't just tes-tosterone: In 1999 a Virginia soccer mom was fined after attacking a referee; the ref was 14.

Everyone has a past relationship to Mike that he or she just needs to tell you about right...
...another turning point. The band thing wasn't working. I had no money. I had had a series of jobs like oystering, landscaping, pumping gas. I was homeless. I slept in Laundromats or in cars. I was crashing at friends' houses. I'd sneak into my mom's house and sleep there. I didn't want to move back home; I didn't want to admit defeat...
