...moved in with a girl friend and supported herself with menial jobs. She remembers her social life at the time as an all-singing, all-dancing marathon on the Sunset Strip ("I'd go up there and dance till dawn"). When she was 16, she went out on a double date with her friend Melissa Melcher and met Melissa's boy next door-27-year-old, newly separated Sonny Bono. Not long after, he made her an offer she could not refuse: "Look, I don't find you particularly attractive and I have no designs...
...This monster city is dark, windy, cold," murmurs Yamashita breathlessly. "Art, color are the vitamins of the soul. I am 42 already. So much to do. Imagine! Striped buildings. Red streets. Sunrise painted on the Sears Tower, sunset on Hancock. A continuous wave of sea paintings along front of all buildings on Michigan Avenue. Rainbows on underside of el tracks.

Now two atmospheric scientists at NASA'S Langley Research Center think that they have found the cause of the heavenly pyrotechnics. Writing in Applied Optics, Physicists Michael McCormick and William Fuller Jr. report that their surveys of the stratosphere with laser beams have revealed two new layers of dust at altitudes of 10 and 12.5 miles. That extra dust would enhance a well-known phenomenon: when...
Glistening sweat in the violet sunset, they hoist the bus onto its back. The horde swarms over its body, urinating from on top. A '72 Dodge Challenger, stuck in the mud, is sucked up by the crowd. Before the driver can climb out the windows are bashed in. Out of the crowd arch Molotov cocktails, their path flickered across 8,000 forms, the fire mirrored on their foreheads. Lurching into the warm at top speed comes a bog car to the tune of I'm the King of Rock and Roll. It runs head on into the bus. The night...
