...YORK—As I watched P. Diddy strut on stage, Rage Against the Machine blaring in the background, I couldn’t get past a cynical dose of skepticism. In a heavily air-conditioned auditorium at New York University, the rapper-turned-record-producer-turned-social-activist pontificated behind a podium on his latest public relations offensive, “Citizen Change.” Think MTV’s Rock the Vote, but more bling-bling. Instead of selling albums, the inventor of the remix was now pitching his program to sell voting to our notoriously apathetic...
...Ritchie, read up. The kin of icons will find a handy parenting primer in Vogue's upcoming age issue, as three generations of Presley women strut their genetic blessings. (The money ain't bad either.) LISA MARIE PRESLEY, 36, center, boasts that her daughter RILEY, 15, a model, has survived relatively unscathed the limelight that comes with being Elvis' granddaughter. "She's not a bimbo! She's not one of the Hollywood pretentious kids. She's not shallow," says Lisa Marie of Riley.

...school days, this young Melbourne duo have photographed themselves with heroes like Jacques Derrida, presenting their sprawling fanzines on gallery walls, along with their funding rejection slips. The Kingpins also play with art stardom.

They didn't want to picture themselves turning down their thermostats and buttoning up their cardigans. They wanted to strut again. Reagan opened his arms and said, Walk this way. And when the country had to mourn, he led it in grieving that was eloquent yet unbowed, as in 1986, when he postponed his State of the Union address to speak of the Challenger disaster. "We will never forget them...
...glider came in over a hedgerow of trees about 80 ft. high and nosed down into a level pasture. It was a hard, pancake-type landing. The front strut came through the wooden floor of the glider and ripped toward the rear, barely missing the legs of some of the troops. We had landed a hundred yards from the personnel-assembly point at the crossroads of Les Forges. It was early evening, and we had about four hours before dark. After a quick check of the surrounding area, I selected a large field adjacent to the Les Forges crossroads...
