...points. "Or a single cut here if calculations prove his tibia too short for two cuts," said Dr. Lehman, touching the middle of the shin. The doctors did not know yet whether the bone-stretching frame could hold in line Reza's shin in three pieces his brother Amir, 12, barely suppressed a wince whenever the doctors said the word cut. But Reza, unconcerned, continued to flip the TV channels, even when Dr. Vladimir Golyakhovsky, a hospital fellow, came in with the frame, which looks like a cylindrical birdcage. He explained that the pins forming the bottom...
...star-making performance in today's busiest leading-man career. The son of TV Icon Lloyd Bridges (Sea Hunt) and brother of Actor Beau (Heart Like a Wheel), Jeff made his screen debut at age four months. The Los Angeles native rolled through University High and a stint in the Coast Guard Reserve, and didn't decide to make acting a career until he had already appeared in six movies. Since then he has brightened 22 more with his surf's-up amiability and his bursts of flummoxed intensity. He has played a Texas teenager (The Last Picture Show...

Most major news organizations refrained from trafficking in the speculation, but the issue was set simmering when Dukakis, citing personal privacy, balked at releasing his medical records. The Bush campaign then pointedly released a statement describing the Vice President's health as "excellent and vigorous." Bush operatives called news organizations, including TIME, to suggest follow-up stories about Dukakis' medical records...
...controversy highlighted the strange social stigma that is still attached to psychological counseling. After two terrible losses -- first of a brother, then of public office -- it would be understandable if Dukakis felt the need for some professional guidance. Seeking such help might, in fact, be a sign of emotional strength. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, each year 15.5 million American adults visit mental-health-care practitioners; few are invalids...
