...January 19 and should be receptive to his down-home, conservative appeal. But the chattering classes will dog him for weeks; Iowa, after all, is a state teaming with evangelical values voters. Over and over again, Huckabee, the former Baptist pastor, will be asked the inverse of Frank Sinatra's famous lyric: "If you can't make it here, how can you make it anywhere...
LEAVE IT TO THE COMEDIAN to have the last laugh. Joey Bishop outlived all the more famous--and more raucous--Rat Packers. By the 1960s he had earned stardom alongside buddies Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford and Sammy Davis Jr. But he was never completely overshadowed by the better-known members of his cohort.

"Her and them sweaters!" one soldier says as she walks toward him. In curly blond hair and a halter dress like the one Monroe wore two years later in The Seven Year Itch, Kerr lasers...
...would go to gigs on his own and take his father's camera, he says, "purely to get close to the musicians without looking like an idiot." From there, Corbijn developed into one of the most highly regarded photographers of his era, with stars as diverse as Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash, the Arctic Monkeys, Robert De Niro and Clint Eastwood lining up to be his subjects. His portraits have been exhibited in art galleries around the world and in 14 sturdy books. But in fact most of us own a Corbijn: his artwork covers more than 100 records...
