...apparently determined to perpetuate itself in power. Last week, Nour was convicted on charges of forging signatures in establishing his party in 2004. The allegations surfaced soon after Nour founded his party calling for democracy and slamming Mubarak as a dictator. He had to run his presidential campaign beneath the cloud of the forgery allegations and then in elections last month lost his parliamentary seat amid widespread allegations of voter intimidation. To seal his fate, a state security court sentenced Nour to five years in prison last week and had him hauled off to begin serving his time. Even...
...Jones had taken up scuba diving. As the floodwaters arrived, he donned his swim trunks, scuba mask and snorkel and stepped outside into winds of more than 100 m.p.h., punctuated by the rumble of passing tornadoes. "I was more worried about flying debris than I was about what was beneath the water I was walking into," says Jones, who usually dives off placid sites like Key West, Fla., and Cozumel, Mexico.

Today, with U2 in town for a show at Madison Square Garden, Bono has the rare treat of staying in one of his homes, a three-story penthouse he purchased from Steve Jobs.

...beneath all those grand ambitions, there is another force at work: they get a kick out of sharing these pilgrimages as a couple--talking with transgendered sex workers in India or women who start businesses with micro loans in Bangladesh. In these situations, they prefer it if people don't know who they are. "We're just people from the moon, as far as they know," says Bill. Later, they spend hours talking about everything they've seen. Says Melinda: "That's a huge side benefit. We love doing this together...
...magician of stop-motion animation brought fantasy to terrifying life. This pack of three 1950s monster films shows his no-budget brilliance: to save money, he gave the giant octopus in It Came from Beneath the Sea just six arms. He destroyed D.C. in Earth vs. the Flying Saucers and created the Ymir, a sulfurous Venusian, in 20 Million Miles to Earth. All his beasties, hand-crafted and photographed one frame at a time, had the power and grandeur of the original Kong...
