...when he came out to fly, but never this late. "He usually showed up between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.," Tabibian says. If J.F.K. Jr. was concerned about the late hour and the fast-setting sun, he didn't show it. Walking unhurriedly into the store wearing a light gray T shirt, he made a bit of small talk with Mesfin Gebreegziabher, who was manning the cash register. Gebreegziabher asked after Kennedy's leg, and Kennedy reported it was feeling better. As was his custom, Kennedy bought a banana and a bottle of mineral water and this time threw...
...pulled their ocean kayaks up onto the deserted beach, John Kennedy plunged into the Pacific. It was a glorious day in the mid-1980s. Kennedy; his girlfriend at the time, actress Christina Haag; and their old friends Lynn Weinstein and Billy Straus were vacationing together, communing with the extraordinary gray whales in Magdalena Bay.

"My friends, guns do kill people," declared Davis, mocking a favorite NRA slogan. The governor also signed separate legislation barring individuals from purchasing more than one handgun a month. "The second restriction aims to stop buyers from purchasing...
...just done with seventh grade, and had returned to my birthplace of New York City after a year's life in Texas. I visited a friend, and he showed me his CD player. It was a gray, futuristic affair that inspired awe (I still grin when I look at similar setups). But I just wanted the CD player because I'd seen and used one, and I thought it was cooler than a tape player. I mean, really, any given CD looked more artistic than a cassette. It had paint already on it. The cover was art, sure, but when...
