...child star in the mid-80s—you may remember him as Young Indy in “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.” In 1993, at age 23, River died of a heroine and cocaine overdose outside of a club on the Sunset Strip called the “Viper Room.” The club was partially owned by Johnny Depp, whose early film career (started at age 21 with “A Nightmare on Elm Street”) was ironically also marked by success and drug abuse.Next on the list is Drew...
...Valley, and the outsourcing of much of America's after-hours tech support to India, has led many in the West see this country as a nation of 1.2 billion software engineers. The Indian Institute of Technology brand owes much to Asok, the super-geek of the popular comic strip Dilbert, who claims to be "mentally superior to most people on earth," is trained to sleep only on national holidays, and can reincarnate from his own DNA. But studies point out that while India's pool of 14 million university graduates grows by a further 2.5 million every year, only...
Nobody wanted to see Charlton Heston in the business suit or polo shirt that other stars of the '50s and '60s wore. The present was too puny a place to confine him.

Oskar's sells a beer-flavored lip balm and some very intense beers. That...
...hippie chimps are showing us no love. The jungle is giving us none either, with army ants, sweat bees and black gnats swarming us. But we have traveled hundreds of miles in a rickety propeller plane to reach a grass strip in the heart of the Congo Basin, nursed a wrecked jeep down 100 miles (160 km) of bicycle track and hacked all morning through vines and thorns on the promise that the peaceniks of the animal kingdom would show us what they're about. So far, there's been some rustling in the trees, a few shrieks...
