...with democracy. But the democracy passed all sorts of crazy laws to protect the monarchy. That's why we left. Anyway, on Wednesday PRINCE WILLIAM exits minor-hood and turns 18, and the restrictions that protect him from being hounded by the media become as irrelevant as granddad Prince Philip. So, perhaps to prevent a feeding frenzy, the royal family offered up several official photos of the studly Prince doing all sorts of normal things--cooking, working on a computer, playing water polo--in hopes that his life will be spared from press intrusion. Good luck, dude...
...would yell at me and say, 'You can't do that.'" Nobody says no to Gehry anymore, certainly not since the triumph three years ago of his Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. His hurtling design there was certified at once as "the most important building of our time" by Philip Johnson, the very gray eminence of American architects. It may also be the most purely delightful.

O'Neal wrote a caustic rap song about it in 1994 called Biological Didn't Bother. O'Neal's mother eventually married Philip Harrison, an Army staff sergeant, who imposed, naturally enough, a disciplined upbringing on a boy who was growing at an unruly rate. "I never see my biological dad," says the unmarried O'Neal, who has two children of his own, Taahirah, 4, and Shareef, 6 months, who live with their...
