...always proclaimed himself to be, or were other forces--ignorance, celebrity fever, avarice--at play? Over the next two years, the boy, his mother and his younger brother and older sister were stay-over guests at Neverland. Jackson lavished gifts and attention on them and provided them an SUV and rides in limousines. Gradually, the accuser said, Jackson's fascination waned, even as the boy's condition worsened. He testified that the singer hid when the boy visited the ranch. A year later, in a near miracle, the cancer was declared to be in remission. No evidence...
...recent years. For automakers, it's all about branding, creating a vacation-like "experience" around a car. Last summer Chrysler extended its Camp Jeep event to California, luring 3,000 folks for two days of off-roading, and Porsche has started a similar program for fans of its Cayenne SUV. BMW runs several programs at its Performance Center in Spartanburg, S.C. At M School, students race high-performance M3 coupes (333 h.p.) and M5 sedans (400 h.p.), loaned by BMW as part of the deal (which includes room and board at a Marriott).

Manelick's father claims that his son had e-mailed him saying he suspected that colleagues at Ultra Services--whose website says it has done $14 million worth of business with the Pentagon--were involved in fraudulent activities with U.S. Army contracting officers. The Army's Criminal Investigation Command has confirmed that Manelick met with its investigators in Iraq but won't say what was discussed. TIME, however, has obtained an e-mail...
...cars and light trucks sold in the U.S.), they'll need to spruce and rev them up considerably. Thus Honda is coming out with a hybrid version of its Accord that is even more powerful than the original. Lexus, meanwhile, is getting brisk preorders for its 2005 luxury hybrid SUV, the 270-horsepower RX400h. But don't expect the Joneses next door to pull up in a Fetish anytime soon. Venturi CEO Gildo Pallanca-Pastor says his tiny Monaco-based company will probably make no more than 25 of the cars this year. The price tag: $686,000. --By Unmesh...
