...terrorists that struck our country in 2002 weren't recruits from international cells but the regular crazy homegrown kind: a sniper spending time with a kid who calls himself his stepson in the ickiest father-son bonding since Bill Wyman's son became his dad's ex-stepfather, and a college kid who was planting mailbox bombs in order to make a happy face on the map. A happy face? What year was that kid living in? We call them emoticons...
...they're rerunning old infrared shots of Baghdad. The terrorists that struck the U.S. in 2002 weren't recruits from international sleeper cells but the regular crazy homegrown kind: a sniper spending time with a kid who calls himself his stepson in the ickiest father-son bonding since Bill Wyman's son nearly became his dad's stepfather-in-law, and a college kid who was planting mailbox bombs in order to make a happy face on the map. A happy face? What year was that kid living in? We call them emoticons now. In Britain, the worst royal scandal...

Everybody thought I was mad when I started collecting it but I did it for my kid, who was eight months old when I joined the Stones. I thought I'd better keep a few things just in case we only lasted a year." PW salutes the result, "Rolling with...
DIED. MAUREEN REAGAN, 60, strong-willed, outspoken daughter of Ronald Reagan and actress Jane Wyman; of melanoma; in Granite Bay, Calif. Maureen avowed that she "was a Republican before the President was," though her views often--and publicly--clashed with his. Just like Dad, Maureen tried her hand early on at TV and film (bit parts on The Partridge Family and in the Elvis Presley film Kissin' Cousins), then at politics (unsuccessful bids for Senate and House seats in California in 1982 and 1992) and at writing (a memoir, First Father, First Daughter, published in 1989). In 1981, she married...
