Since 1924, though, Winchester has become known for its role in a more peaceable event: it plays host to the annual Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival, which each spring draws hundreds of thousands of revelers, including a diverse array of celebrities ranging from comic actor Dan Aykroyd to master crooner Pat Boone. Catering to all tastes and talents, this five-day down-home extravaganza, May 3-7, features a food and crafts fair with homemade wares from applesauce and pastries to quilts and Barbie-doll dresses; a 10-km footrace; a pro-am golf tournament; a three-ring circus; jazz, bluegrass...

Christian-right leader Pat Robertson threatened that "a large portion of the Republican base would walk away" if McCain was the nominee. Representative Henry Hyde of Illinois, chairman of the House impeachment proceedings, taped a phone message for 100,000 voters, implicitly criticizing McCain for wanting to change the G.O.P's abortion plank to include exceptions for rape and incest--exceptions Bush also supports, though Hyde didn...
...Jazz guitarist Pat Metheny is in a unique position among musicians. This Boston native is one of the most virtuosic jazz performers alive today, and yet it seems as though he'd do much better at almost any other profession. He has a greater narrative sense than nearly every other musician on the market and his compositions can reach heights of lyricism unparalleled in contemporary jazz...
