...ended the second trial resulting from the vicious rape and nearly fatal beating of an investment banker in New York City's Central Park in 1989. Three juveniles were convicted of rape and assault last August. After the latest trial, Richardson faces a maximum sentence of 10 years. Wise, who was treated as an adult, could get up to 26. Their sentences will be pronounced on Jan. 9. A third trial, slated for next month, will determine the fate of the last alleged assailant...
...extremely happy as a body builder," Schwarzenegger says. "I was competing, training, doing seminars all over the world, winning the top trophies. The first time is the best. Fabulous! Even the second and third time, rubbing it in, letting them know you are here to stay. But then, all of a sudden -- zap! -- it is not enough anymore to make you happy. You say to yourself, 'Now what?

That was a major, major, major mistake. Now I know that is something to discuss beforehand...
INXS may have built their considerable success the old-fashioned way, as performers rather than video icons, but their music is snazzy and right up to the second. It has good melodic hooks (thanks to Farriss) and strong rhythmic underpinnings (courtesy of his brothers Tim, 31, on rhythm guitar, and Jon, 28, on drums, as well as bassist Garry Gary Beers, 28). It has a surprisingly soulful flow (from the sax of Kirk Pengilly, 29, who also plays lead guitar) and, in Hutchence's dramatic vocals, anthemic ambitions...
