...Simpson! Jonbenet Ramsey! Michael Jackson! "Enquiring minds want to know," and the National Enquirer is eager to oblige. No one knows more about the colorful supermarket tabloid than Iain Calder, author of The Untold Story: My 20 Years Running the National Enquirer. What's it like to be at the helm of the paper that put celebrity journalism on the map? TIME met with Calder...
RUNNING. JOHN RAMSEY, 60, father of child beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey, victim of a still unsolved 1996 murder in Boulder, Colo.; for the House of Representatives in Michigan, where the family now lives. Ramsey has vowed not to let lingering speculation about his family's role in the murder keep him from serving the public...

...Susie's breezy, wisecracking voice sounds eerily familiar, that's because it could belong to a Martha Moxley or a Chandra Levy or a JonBenet Ramsey or any of the other little girls lost whose faces haunt billboards and photocopied flyers and whose stories we play and replay obsessively on the 6 o'clock news. "Murder had a blood red door," Susie tells us, "on the other side of which was everything unimaginable to everyone." In The Lovely Bones, Sebold takes us behind that red door; she imagines the unimaginable and in doing so reminds us that those missing girls...
