...hail Malcolm Forbes, Jr.! Even if the multi-millionaire has to adopt the earthy moniker "Steve" in order to emerge from his father's shadow, he's still manipulated the political arena masterfully with his fortune. Running second to Bob Dole in New Hampshire polls, Forbes has catapulted to the "top tier" of the Republican pack by advancing one simple message: a flat tax rate of 17 percent. The "movement conservatives" north of the border seem little concerned that one of the main beneficiaries of this absurdly regressive measure will be Forbes himself...
...sissy,/ Nixon's a prick./ Romney's a moron,/ Goldwater's sick./ Nelson's your best man,/ Able and quick./ But who is our candidate?/ Upright Dick!" After Nixon's Inauguration, even the Washington Post's cartoonist Herblock gave him a shave (erasing the famously sinister Milhousian stubble shadow). Whatever else Nixon may have become in the years before his forced retirement, he was deemed for an instant to be presidential. Every President, including Bill Clinton, has a hard fight to live up to the adjective; even more difficult is attaching the word to a candidate...
...most widely covered song (Yesterday) and much of its most enduring music. He was the Beatles' most versatile singer, and not just as a balladeer; his scorched-throat rendition of the raver I'm Down is a highlight of the Anthology show.

He was the favorite of the girls whose screams dominated the early Beatles concerts, but he was not a guy's guy. No way could he satisfy the emerging...
Frannie stumbles into trouble. In a basement room of a bar she happens to see a red-haired woman--whose murder will be reported later that night--performing a sex act on a man whose face is in shadow. But he, she suspects, will recognize her. Sure enough, she is soon visited by N.Y.P.D. Detective James A. Malloy, who has a tattoo on his wrist similar to one she noticed on the man in the bar. "You remind me of someone," he tells...
...journalism--Diane Sawyer, Mike Wallace, Peter Jennings and Barbara Walters. It was a pretty predictable guest list for this crowd. But there was someone sitting at the same table who does not make a regular haunt of Fifth Avenue apartments. Uncharacteristically dressed in a suit, his beard a thinning shadow of its former self, Fidel Castro, 69, nibbled on gold-embossed cookies, told jokes and held forth on everything from elections to heaven and hell. High above Central Park, the absolute leader of Cuba was excellent company, if a little long-winded...
