...DIED. RUSS MEYER, 82, soft-core-porn director and master of the "sexploitation" genre; in Hollywood. A World War II combat cameraman and onetime Playboy-centerfold photographer, Meyer directed titillating '60s classics like Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill! and Vixen. He borrowed from his own genial, breast-obsessed farces for 1970's nutty major-studio masterpiece, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, written by a young Roger Ebert. He also produced, financed, wrote, edited and shot 21 other films, some of which have been acquired by institutions such as the New York Museum of Modern Art as prime examples of late...
CONVICTED. Bounty hunter and former Green Beret JONATHAN IDEMA, his right-hand man BRENT BENNETT and freelance cameraman EDWARD CARABALLO; of entering Afghanistan illegally, making illegal arrests, establishing a private jail and torturing their captives; in Kabul.

RUSS MEYER, 82, soft-core-porn director whose work set the tone for late 20th century pop culture at its most cheerfully leering; in Los Angeles.

In the '60s he shifted to melodramas (Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!), to which he later...

...candidacy imploded, Ryan last month had a young campaign worker with a videocam follow Obama (sometimes no more than a few feet away) in hopes of catching him saying something inconsistent with previous statements. After two weeks and a wave of publicity that made Ryan look bad, the cameraman disappeared. "This scorched-earth politics out there today is not getting things done," says Obama. "So what I do is tell a story about what's been lost in the American Dream and how we can recapture that dream." Democrats will be happy if they can just recapture the Senate. --With...
