...evening, the reporters were unexpectedly herded onto buses and driven to the site of the colonel's bombed-out home. There, bathed in moonlight and flanked by two recently wounded sons, sat Gaddafi's wife Safia. Clutching a crutch as her silver-trimmed black robe billowed in the stiff breeze, the usually private woman vowed to kill with her own hands the pilot who had shattered her house and to pursue eternal vengeance on all Americans "unless they give Reagan the death sentence." For all its staginess, the eerie scene was another reminder that despite last week's precautions...
Adorned in a flowing blue robe and matching skullcap, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh stepped out of a Portland courthouse last week into one of his sect's 93 Rolls-Royces and was whisked to the airport. After a quick wave and a bow to disciples from his 1,300-member commune, the guru, who had lived in the U.S. since 1981, boarded a chartered airplane and departed for his native India. Unless he gets written permission from the U.S. Attorney General, he will not be allowed to visit the U.S. for five years. Said the Bhagwan: "I never want to return...

A nervous breakdown is so sudden and half-hearted as to be unaffecting, while the genuinely comic moment is when Hobie’s (Ferrell) bath robe gets caught in the front door of Melinda’s apartment. As expected, Allen errs on the side of humor, so that Melinda is really a pairing of two comedies, one darker than the other, neither of which is really funny...
...last glimpse of him high above the square became the latest in an album of images he left behind: a kiss on the tarmac in each new city; a smile lit by love and certainty; a white robe stained red by a would-be assassin's bullet, and the public forgiveness that followed; a challenge thrown down before prisoners and Presidents, sinners and saints to heed the highest calling of their hearts. He was the first Pope ever to visit a mosque, or launch a website, or commemorate the Holocaust at Auschwitz or find in a broken world so many...
