R. Lee Ermey, ‘Full Metal Jacket’ star, dead at 74
R. Lee Ermey, the tough-talking Marine Corps sergeant turned actor best known for his role as a foul-mouthed Vietnam-era drill instructor in “Full Metal Jacket,” died Sunday from complications of pneumonia. He was 74. “He will be greatly missed by all of us,” his longtime manager, Bill Rogin, said in a statement. “Semper Fi, Gunny. Godspeed.” Ermey, who often played military or police roles in film and television, grew up in Toppenish, Wash., and enlisted in the Marines at just 17 after his second arrest for criminal mischief. A staff sergeant who also served as a drill instructor, he spent 14 months in Vietnam beginning in 1968 and was given a medical discharge in 1972.

Are there really ‘rules’ to what to wear?
Blue and green should never be seen, or should they? Do the traditional rules of dressing still apply? The world of high fashion always claims to be about breaking rules. Take a look at the catwalks at London Fashion Week, which starts today. But when it comes to our everyday choice of clothes there's always someone piping up about some longstanding rule.
