...only room left standing. Back in Jarrell, Ladonna Peterson, her son, niece and mother-in-law squeezed into a bathtub. "It got dark, black, and I saw the funnel cloud coming toward us. It was as big as a church and solid black," Peterson told the Austin American-Statesman. Family members clung to one another and sang Jesus Loves Me. The bathroom door flew open, debris covered them, and suddenly it was over. They climbed out to find everything gone, except the bathroom...
...spurred the Marlboro Man into a galloping ad success; of cancer; in Bronxville, New York. A Thoroughbred enthusiast, he founded the Marlboro Cup, a leading stakes race that folded in 1987. DIED. CHAIM HERZOG, 78, urbane, articulate former President of Israel and exemplar of the nation's soldier-statesman tradition; in Tel Aviv. As U.N. ambassador in 1975, Herzog during debate defiantly tore up the infamous resolution equating Zionism with racism. (Years later, it was repealed.)

"He was a strict European parent," says John. Family routines were sacrosanct. Children were expected to be at the dinner table on time. "The most severe form of punishment was when our father wouldn't talk to us for a week." When Madeleine was invited to the prom in ninth grade, it triggered a family fight over whether she would be allowed to ride...
...insane nor T.S. Eliot-quoting. Instead he is low-key and unpretentious, a serious but not uncheerful man who seems used to having things his way, in a manner probably not unlike a lot of other millionaire Northern California entrepreneurs (though at 52 he is something of an elder statesman). His ranch's high-tech facilities are disguised by tidy vineyards and lovingly detailed re-creations of turn-of-the-century Northern California architecture: even the luxe employee gym in this better class of Disney World has Arts and Crafts-like lighting fixtures. Clearly this is the domain...
