...figures depend on the vagaries of local police reports that classify disappearances differently - sometimes as murders, sometimes as other things such as rape, depending on the circumstances of the crime. The fear and confusion unleashed by the abduction stories can't be expressed as math. Its power is primal, as gripping as an empty crib. Journalists know this: imperiled children mesmerize. There aren't many stories with villains so wholly evil and victims so absolutely undeserving. Little wonder that within moments of a snatching, across countless radios, televisions and even electronic highway signs, the kidnapping stories have a new immediacy...
...summer of '57 was a blistering time for primal rock 'n roll. At a million places like South Jersey's Avalon Ballroom (admission: 25 cents), kids worked up a sweet sweat jitterbugging to Bobby Day's "Rockin' Robin," Elvis' "All Shook Up," Ray Charles's "Talkin' 'Bout You," the Crickets' "That'll Be the Day," Little Richard's "Good Golly Miss Molly," the Coasters' "Searchin'," Buddy Knox's "Party Doll," Ricky Nelson's "Be Bop Baby," Fats Domino's "I'm Walkin'," the Everly Brothers' "Bye Bye Love," the Diamonds' "Little Darlin'," the Dell Vikings' "Come Go with...
...Buddy Holly, B.B. King and Bo Diddley, The Beatles and the Stones, Jimi Hendrix and Jeff Beck, ad infinitum ad gloriam, closed that case.

He worked under another disadvantage: A pianist, unlike a guitarist, couldn't take his instrument to a gig; at least back then he didn't. Janes ascribes some of Lewis' extreme behavior on the road to his annoyance at being given "some...
...child's being snatched by a stranger is rare and that these kinds of kidnappings are not on the increase. But every time it happens--and it happened again last week when Samantha Runnion, 5, playing just outside her apartment, was taken, screaming, and murdered--it strikes at our primal fear that we cannot protect our children against the incidental malice of the universe. But experts say parents can teach some basic safety lessons and reinforce them regularly...
...Keane, the potty-mouthed Irish captain (Ret.), led the way with a lurid team-meeting harangue that caused manager Mick McCarthy to send him home. Rising to meet this challenge, Spanish idol Raul exchanged angry words with assistant coach Carlos Lorenzana. Even the icy Scandinavians are surrendering to their primal urges. Swedes Freddie Ljungberg and Olof Mellberg got into a scuffle in front of live TV cameras during a training session. The Danes mounted their own smackdown, a three-way rumpus involving Jesper Gronkjaer, Stig Tofting and Thomas Graveson. Team official Jim Stjerne-Hansen told reporters afterwards: 'These players need...
