...another theocratic state - one whose agents in this country had committed devastating crimes against hundreds of thousands of young Americans - came to the U.S. and received a warm welcome from President Bush, the national press and most of the American people. He even got to say Mass before a sold-out crowd at Yankee Stadium...
...Purple One's first book, 21 NIGHTS (Atria; 256 pages), provides no final verdict, though it does resolve the questions, Does Prince own a lot of shirts, and what does his Bible look like?

...least the U.S. women have a taste of what the pressure cooker team finals will be like later in the week, when only three gymnasts will be competing on each apparatus and all three scores count.

Preteen girls recently had their Woodstock. It lasted 74 min. and probably involved an overconsumption of Junior Mints. Shut out of the sold-out live event, 2007's Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour, thousands of girls lined up in February and March to put on 3-D glasses for the movie version. And as they watched, Cyrus' concert-movie audience did something remarkable: they behaved as if it were a real show. Singing along, dancing, reaching for confetti that was falling only onscreen, the Hannah Montana fans were, yes, 8-year-olds on a sugar high...
