For example, not only have MILES DAVIS, TONY BENNETT, RICHARD GERE and DAVID BYRNE elbowed themselves room at fame's bar for their performing abilities; they're also gifted visual artists.

The new repository surfaced only after the U.N. workers had begun digging for soil to fill in the smaller sites. Meanwhile, the flow of defeated Hutu from Rwanda has apparently ceased, in spite of internal U.N. accusations that the victorious...
