...became dependent on prescription medication and on the Dr. Feelgoods who cater to the pharmacological demands of the stars. "The doctors prescribed so much drugs, it was crazy," said a longtime Jackson-family attorney, Brian Oxman. Jackson often looked frail and wasted away in his public appearances, the result, said another tabloid, of a malady called alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, a genetic condition that leads to the breakdown of the lungs. Yet according to those who worked with him, he was vital and tireless the night before his death...
...seemed as though he didn't want to be Michael Jackson. His disastrous compact with California plastic surgeons altered his face nearly beyond recognition. His cocoa skin was gradually blanched into a geisha's pancake white - the result, doctors said, of the pigment-depleting disease vitiligo. Except when camouflaged by makeup in videos - he even wore it to bed, said ex-wife Lisa Marie - or cavorting as a speck onstage in giant arenas, he retreated to his palatial Neverland estate near Santa Barbara, Calif., and became the world's most reclusive exhibitionist...
College students are often forced to make a decision between two life paths: one that feeds the soul and one that feeds the bank account. Rarely do the two meet.

Meanwhile, the middle class has spent the past 2½ decades - during which the divorce culture became a fact of life - turning weddings into overwrought exercises in consumer spending, as if by just plunking down enough cash for the flower girls' dresses and tissue-lined envelopes for the RSVP cards...
...Islamic Republic has been busy in three main ways since the presidential elections of June 12. Rejecting charges that the result - a 63% vote for incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - was the result of fraud, the regime organized a partial recount, which on June 29 reconfirmed Ahmadinejad's victory, a finding the opposition continues to reject. Simultaneously, the regime worked to put down the widespread street demonstrations that followed the disputed poll, sending in police and pro-government militiamen to beat up and disperse demonstrators. Now, with the street protests dying down, the regime has attempted to rescue its legitimacy by casting...
