Dave at Peace: The Rolling Stone Interview
He was once late night's crankiest man. But is the war within David Letterman finally over?
How are you feeling about Late Show right now?
I like it. I like the people I'm working with. It's a completely different show than it used to be, it's more host-friendly than it ever has been. . . .
What do you mean by "host-friendly"?
I'm not working as hard as I used to [laughs]. All I have to do, really, is pick out a tie and sit down.
Are the best nights when there's that great guest? When it's a Hillary or Bill Clinton, or Howard Stern, and you just feel that energy in the...

Cabin Man
Chris Elliott went from NBC gofer to semi-fame as a juvenile oddball on "Letterman," but never tasted true Hollywood glory. Why the former "Get a Life" star may be his generation's most underappreciated comic genius.
Late in 1980, Chris Elliott was working the admission booth at Rockefeller Center's observation deck when David Letterman walked up with his mother, Dorothy, and asked to buy two tickets. Earlier that summer, Letterman had been the host of his own daring and funny NBC morning show that had proven popular with television critics but not with viewers. And though the network, based in Rockefeller Center, had canceled the show after only a few months on the air, it had kept Letterman under...

Beck Debuts Stripped-Down Tour in Reno
On the first night of his seven-week North American tour, at the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino in Reno, Nevada, Beck was standing on an acre-size stage (the largest indoor stage in the world, according to the Guinness Book of World Records). "I thought, 'Shit, this goes on forever!' " he says. "If I had known, I would have really done something special."
Opening with the tense groove of "Devils Haircut," Beck and his four-piece band played a 23-song set that ranged from the gutbucket...

Let There Be Rock: AC/DC Plan Big Comeback
New disc "Black Ice" hits Wal-Mart in October, massive tour to follow
This past spring, eight years after AC/DC released their last album, the five band members entered a recording studio with producer Brendan O'Brien — and banged out 15 new songs in just two months. "We just wanted something like, 'Hey, this is gonna be rock & roll,' " says guitarist and bandleader Angus Young — who emphasized the point by using the word "rock" in the titles of four different tracks. The resulting disc, Black Ice, is set to be released exclusively in Wal-Mart stores...

American Warlord
Chucky Taylor was an ordinary suburban teenager - until he went to live with his father, one of Africa's most brutal dictators. How did a kid from Orlando end up as the first U.S. citizen on trial for torture abroad?
Chucky Taylor stood in the garage of a villa on the outskirts of liberia's capital, gun in hand. Outside, crimson puddles of rain pocked the muddy red-clay road to Monrovia. By Chucky's side was a spectral figure named Benjamin Yeaten, known as "50" to the legion of mercenaries and former child soldiers he and Chucky commanded. In front of the two men, bleeding and terrified, was a university student accused of aiding a rebel army that was working its way through the jungle toward the...
