...songs, the nonstop snazz and of course the bawdry - or, as she puts it, "hits, glitz and tremendous tits." Innuendo goes out the window when Miss M. comes to town. The clerk at the ticket desk offers the friendly warning that this is "adult entertainment," and inside you'll hear Midler caution the crowd, "Please don't call the Pope if you see a tit or two." You won't have to phone Rome; skinwise, the show is pretty chaste. Bette relies on one of her longtime characters - Soph (for Sophie Tucker), the oldest babe in show business - to supply...
...animal voters” is news-savvy, socially integrated, and politically active. These are the suburban soccer moms who buy free range meat at Whole Foods, cosmetics not tested on animals from the Body Shop, and who quietly shun Ringling Bros’ animal circus when it comes to town. They’re also the people who sent over 300,000 e-mails to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell last July successfully urging him to drop convicted dog fighter Michael Vick from the league.

The 46-year-old baby boomer had seemed the very embodiment of the freshness and change that the people of this downtrodden burg on the edge of Appalachia had been praying for. They were giddy when he jogged through Yoctangee Park with the mayor...
...David Windsor, better known as Prince Harry, the freckle-faced, ginger-haired, 23-year-old second son of Charles and Diana, third in line to the British throne, has long shown signs of impatience with the protocols and pomposity of royal life. He's been known to paint the town red and the air blue. He's cuddled kids with AIDS in Lesotho. And now he's taken keeping it real to a new level that's almost surreal: serving as a member of the Household Cavalry in Afghanistan's Helmand province...
