We really didn't have anything," said Priscilla during an interview in her modest office on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, where she has run Elvis' estate since 1979, when not making a name for herself as an actress in prime-time soap operas or Naked Gun movies. Then again, perhaps she should not have been so shocked at the estate's relative puniness. "Elvis," she notes with an ex-wife's hard-won lucidity, "did not plan for the future.

Crowds of upwards of 100,000 are hoped...

"We have hard-wired into us a different approach to getting things done." A survey by Third Millennium found that 53% of Gen Xers believe that the TV soap opera General Hospital will outlast Medicare. If permitted, 59% of Xers would opt out of Medicare and save on their own. Of any adult generation, they have the weakest attachment to political parties, and in 1992 Gen Xers cast a higher percentage of votes for Ross Perot than older adults...
