During two days of questioning, Bwaku told the FBI he saw the attacker long enough to describe him in detail: a shortish man, neither black nor white, with burning eyes, a long nose, straight black hair and a mustache. FBI artists have sketched the face and will now try to find other witnesses who might have seen the same likeness...
...record-shattering $2.49 billion by the end of the season. This would top last year's $2.22 billion take, led by Sony's "Men in Black." The key to this summer's success is diversity, according to Robert Bucksbaum, an analyst at box office watchers Reel Source.

The next night he saw her again, "wearing a tight, long pink dress that made a lasting impression on me." Jane moved in with Buffett and never did get back to school. They were married in 1977--the year Margaritaville hit--at an all-night Aspen blowout (the wedding band was the Eagles). But after...
Then something strange happened: the crowds at his shows started growing. College kids were showing up again. Fans began making a day of it in the parking lot, competing to see who could wear the most outlandish costume. Buffett's musical sidekick, harmonica-ace Greg ("Fingers") Taylor, saw the change when he rejoined the band after taking a year off to "learn how not to drink." Taylor and Buffett were riding in a limo through a Midwestern parking lot "and all these insane rituals are going on around us. Winnebagos with shark fins on top. People dancing. Buffett turned...
