...sixth album, To the 5 Boroughs (out June 15), the Beastie Boys--Yauch; Mike Diamond, 38; and Adam Horovitz, 37--insist they are neither too old nor too wise for rap. They make an excellent case for themselves. Yauch fantasizes about building a medieval catapult on his roof to shower fruit on his neighbors. Diamond asks charmingly tactless questions about the salaries of TIME employees. Horovitz, the only childless Beastie, proudly calls himself Uncle Fart Joke. Even their music, which they take kind of seriously, is something of a gag. Diamond: "People ask us about this album like there...
This focus on the little things tends to lose site of the big picture, though. Over the course of his standing in the shower, not feeding the cat, falling off his bike, etc. we learn that Kochalka and his wife are trying to have a baby. Whatever sort of important discussions they may have had about this are only cursorily touched on in the "diary." Even the moment they learn she is pregnant goes unrecorded.

He gets out of the shower and ponders what he is going to wear for the day, not an easy—or short—task. “For me it depends on weather, what...
...miscalculation in spending so much time putting Kozlowski's excesses on trial. There were vivid accounts and video of the now famous $2 million bash Kozlowski threw in Sardinia for his wife that featured singer Jimmy Buffett and of his over-the-top purchases of items like $6,000 shower curtains. These seemed to be the activities that most titillated the media, judging by the marked jump in attendance on those days of testimony in an otherwise boring trial. But the jury spent almost no time during deliberations on those topics, and rightfully so. Much of what these...
