...West Bank, on March 29 (TIME, April 13). The Palestinian Authority maintains Sharif was shot and then blown up in an inside job; two Hamas men remain in a Palestinian jail accused of the crime. Other Palestinians blamed Israel. But after Yasser Arafat ordered Palestinian officials to turn over to Israeli police the two Kalashnikov bullets found in Sharif's chest, new weight has been given to a different theory. Israeli forensics experts say the bullets were never fired from a gun and were probably part of the debris sent flying when Sharif accidentally triggered a bomb he was making...
...your lawyer allowed to keep your conversations secret after you die? Believe it or not, the Supreme Court is only just getting around to tackling this basic, if morbid, legal issue. Prosecutor Ken Starr, wearing his Whitewater hat, asked the Justices Monday to require attorney James Hamilton to turn over notes relating to one ex-client in particular -- the late Vince Foster.

It didn't quite work, and in efforts to maintain his commercial viability, Sinatra would eventually record Presley's hit Love Me Tender as well as works by Paul Simon (Mrs. Robinson), George Harrison (Something) and Joni Mitchell (Both Sides Now). The results were often awkward--this...
...people who have one, the computer has already shown itself to be the great equalizer, the final flattener, making all of us the creator and the created. With every advance in technology, art and entertainment--its cuter, more popular sister--change in radical, unpredictable ways. And at each turn they become more democratic, more accessible. The printing press starts with Bibles and ends up with pulp fiction. Radio popularizes rock 'n' roll. TV spawns the sitcom. Now consider the possibilities that will open up as the computer meets the Net--not the network of today, with piddly, slow connections that...
