…the Alzheimer's patient accused of murder?…the beach version of the Pet Rock?…the disturbing photo of the smoker?…the illegal signs at the produce stand?…the long-distance lovers?…Marilyn's sons?
What they did about David Cohen
While caring for his 75-year-old wife, who had suffered strokes, David Cohen quietly slipped into dementia.
Inching up the beach
Scott Weber had the kind of idea that makes most of us shake our heads and snicker, and secretly wish we'd thought of it first. Last winter, he bought a 120- by 100-foot lot on Sunset Beach, just south of Treasure Island.
Final wish granted
A consumer group in Canada posted his deathbed picture in dozens of schools and factories. Web sites in Germany and Poland and Brazil featured the frightening photo. Time magazine published it, too: a skeletal face sunk deep in a pillow.
A positive sign for produce stand
The two planks painted with daily specials are not standing at the little produce market on M.L. King (Ninth) Street anymore.
Living with memories of Marilyn
In the golden autumn of Pennsylvania, an 11-month-old boy named Shane flings handfuls of leaves in the air and laughs as the wind takes them flying. His mother, Julia Ford, watches.
Cohabitation, at last
Mr. and Mrs. Preston Hearn cooked dinner together the other night.
Runaway ran again
Schralton "Buster" Ashley ran away from his grandmother last Christmas and survived for 30 days in a vacant house and a broken-down truck, eating only oranges he picked from a citrus tree each day.
Family adds another miracle
They wanted desperately to be parents. But first, they had to be detectives searching for answers a world away, a relentless tag team fighting the medical bureaucracy.

The bomb shelter that bombed
The news in the fall of 1961 was ominous.

Fine-tuning the Jazz Holiday
CLEARWATER -- The 21st annual Clearwater Jazz Holiday is history, and organizers are able to point to the success of another smartly produced, well-organized event. The festival notched an attendance of about 60,000 for nearly 30 hours of free music spread out over four days in downtown Coachman Park. Storm-season worries, a factor last year with Hurricane Irene, faded in the face of sunny days and breezy nights.

California meaning
Chronicler of Tinseltown Edward Ruscha, a leading Southern California artist, has his own non-glitzy view of La-La Land and encourages viewers of his works to exercise their own perspectives as well.

Wise entertainment investing
TV's The $treet and Bull are leveraging audiences with Dow Jones action, but despite business incongruities in both, one emerges as a drama likely to gain the most points.

This time, it's personal
Monica Bishop Steele directs her eye toward one woman's battle with her own mortality in Margaret Edson's Wit.

Audio Files
JOHNNY CASH, AMERICAN III: SOLITARY MAN (AMERICAN) American III: Solitary Man is the third collaboration 'tween the Man in Black and rock and rap producer Rick Rubin. Like the others, it's an exciting though haunting collection of originals and pop music covers.
