Monaghan was long known more for self-indulgence than for selflessness. He amassed a gaudy mix of Bugatti autos, Frank Lloyd Wright drawings and artifacts, and a dream ranch in Ann Arbor where herds of buffalo roamed. Monaghan explained those sprees as compensation for the fact that his mother abandoned him at the age of four to foster homes and an orphanage. As owner of the Detroit Tigers, he liked to swoop down on home games in his helicopter. He once considered building a 35-story slanted tower dubbed--what else?--the Leaning Tower of Pizza...
Books for gays who decide to become parents are still not an everyday publishing event. The most popular guidebook, The Lesbian and Gay Parenting Handbook: Creating and Raising Our Families (HarperPerennial), was published in 1993.

Asked after the show how she would clothe Lewinsky, McCartney replied, "Probably in a dress, and preferably one that had been dry-cleaned...
...known that whatever its message, the movie bubbles over with felicities. The actors, once they get over their early overplaying, are uniformly splendid. Ross gets plenty of smart fun from the collision of '50s and '90s: a "healthy" breakfast loaded with pork products, a mother-daughter sex talk in which Muffin explains the facts of life to Mom. Carpeting the film is Randy Newman's richest score, tremulous and true to the period; those yearning violins express an ache the Pleasantvillagers don't yet know they have...
