Kamikaze kid pilot commits acne-induced suicide Julia Bishop, who changed her name and her son's from Bishara, has declined interviews since Saturday. She told Pinellas County officials she changed her name because Bishara is an Arabic name and the United States was at war with Iraq at the time.
Rumor has it she will be telling her story to People magazine first, no doubt because AOL-Time-Warner does such a good job of self-censorship with sensitive material....
