...longer idolize astronauts. I have since learned that the exalted Hayden Planetarium's Pink-Floyd-and-astronomy extravaganzas provided psychedelic entertainment for drug users citywide. I find most of our nation's space program to be a waste of time and money. The notion of launching tomato seeds into space is morally repugnant when there are those who die of starvation on a daily basis. Housing men and women in space stations seems futile when homeless people slumber just outside my door. Perhaps it is merely an end of innocence, but the intergalactic dreams of my youth have become...

After lunch with George Stephanopoulos, among others, Diana slipped into an ivory lace, beaded backless number--like...
...again, but for now he's taking time off. Meanwhile, Louis Farrakhan, who to most people is no hero, is busily influencing people. It is also not a list celebrating celebrity. Dennis Rodman is famous, but we'll have to wait for a lot more killer-tomato dye jobs to show up in the N.B.A. before he ranks as an influence. (Stay tuned.) And because influence isn't always, alas, the same thing as talent and virtue, a lot of gifted and good people don't make...
