...candlelight vigils to a 5-km run. Lucy de Barbin, who claims that her daughter Desiree was fathered by Elvis, is pushing the recently published Are You Lonesome Tonight?, which purports to dish out the hot sticky behind the entire episode. Meanwhile, the King's official ex-wife, Actress Priscilla Presley, is offering a one-hour video tour of Elvis Presley's Graceland. It isn't hard to figure what Elvis would have made of all this fuss: he was used to it. Besides, Colonel Tom Parker, his manager, could always work it out so that...

A sort of Oriental Mary Magdalene, she is the only person in the province willing to house three Gods (Isabell Monk, Harry S. Murphy and Thom Molinaro) on a fact finding mission from heaven.

I know the truth." Heathcliff Huxtable would be proud of such a level-headed reaction...
...when polio cut him down while he was serving as a Marine lieutenant at Camp Lejeune. In recent years, hypothyroidism and urinary problems plagued him, and he sought psychiatric help for depression. Even though his health problems were widely known, his death shocked friends and family alike. His wife Priscilla received the news by phone from North Carolina's senior U.S. Senator Jesse Helms. For Helms, East was not only a political protege but a philosophical double. East is remembered mainly for having sponsored a measure in the Senate that failed to pass, a bill that would have outlawed abortion...
