...Wayne is the first entertainer to take the stage, a position befitting his status as king of Vegas. A nice down-tempo Johnny B. Goode, and then he segues into a classic, the classic maybe. "To dream the impossible dream," his chest swells inside the gold brocade jacket. His face, puffed enough from the good life to fill in any lines, begins to hang with sweat, small perfect beads on his forehead, twinkling in the kliegs. "To go where the brave dare not follow, To reach the unreachable star." He looks a little like Elvis--the pudgy, aging Elvis responsible...
Rouse is a stocky (5 ft. 11 in.), balding, bespectacled man who looks like ?and has been?an elder of the Presbyterian Church. On a recent late-morning tour of Harborplace, he was dressed like an avuncular preppie in a blue button-down shirt, a loud madras jacket and Bass Weejun loafers. Ankling around his waterfront pavilions, he is not so much a monarch surveying his turf as a wide-eyed tourist in a wonderland of consumer goodies. In the Light Street Pavilion, he sniffs the potted hydrangeas at the entrance, saunters beamishly past scores of food outlets, surveys...
...Terminal found Coury wandering through the rush-hour crowds, without shoes or shirt. He had been mugged, he told them. He used their phone to call home. "Gerry's voice was a bit agitated," recalls Nimar. "He said, 'Mom, they took everything: my shoes, my shirt, my jacket, wallet, everything. Mom, get me out of here.'

A few hours later he was in Times Square, running from the heckling mob. Another brother, Charles...
...walled infirmary redolent of disinfectant, with nothing to distinguish it but a red door. They hope that Herriot will resemble Simon Ward, the actor who impersonated him in the TV adaptation of All Creatures Great and Small. But they see a ruddy, pleasant, 64-year-old grandfather, caparisoned in jacket and tie even when stepping through the mire of cattle pens. His voice bears no taint of the Yorkshire dialect permeating his books. When someone asks him a question, Herriot replies "Aye" in the accent that betrays his Glasgow origins...
...Indiana Jones, Harrison Ford masterfully combines self-deprecating humor with a certain grittiness and sensitivity. He's something of an unlikely hero, who himself doesn't always seem to sure about the situation. In his academic tweeds he's boyish and bumbling--but as soon as the leather jacket is on he magically transforms himself into an amalgamation of most of the great movie heroes from Bogie to Bond. He has none of the arrogance of, say, a dashing pilot in a WWII film, or of his evil counterparts (good, as always, balks before prevailing). Instead, he is allowed...
