...billion at the box office. If the story lines were not always coherent, at least the action was reliably high octane, the stunts spectacular, the women lovely (and increasingly lethal) and the hero an island of imperturbable British cool amid the mayhem. In the Irish Brosnan, with his nimble brow and arch half-smiles, the franchise has found its most persuasive Bond since Scotsman Sean Connery. Decades of critics have asked when the superspy will mothball the tux and retire. Yet Berry speaks for a lot of post--cold war babies when she says, "Bond is still so sexy...

...Bush administration. For cartoonists, the first thing to do is draw an extra-large pair of ears on the President. Once that’s done, it’s time to contort his face into a vacuous expression, usually some combination of raised eyebrows, yawning mouth, and furrowed brow. And now that George W. has been transformed into Curious George, the simian storybook character, it is essential to insult his intelligence. Never mind that none of this has to do with the war in Iraq, the rape of the environment or the tax-cut for the rich. Obviously, George...

...Everyone wants to say something," said Anna Maria Giordano, an Italian conservationist keen to talk about the damage a proposed bridge between Sicily and the mainland could cause.

...Fahed wears fatigues and a stocking cap with narrow eyeholes cut into it. Around his brow is a white strip of cloth with black writing: KATA'IB SHUHADA' AL-AQSA, al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, an offshoot of Arafat's Fatah organization that vies with Hamas as the principal orchestrator of attacks on Israelis, including civilians. As the gunmen crouch behind their 15-ft. sand barricade, they shift their feet and their grips on their weapons, on some level wishing that the Israelis would come now and be done with it. "I'm prepared for martyrdom," Abu al-Fahed, 28, says...

...Jerry, later Simon and Garfunkel. For the kids in Philadelphia, Pa., Lewis sang his follow-up hit, "Great Balls of Fire." He tore through the number and, toward the end, shook his long, slicked-back blond hair until it fell forward, like a toupee attached at the brow line, virtually covering his face. He was suddenly a peroxided version of the Addams Family's Cousin Itt, and for a moment I could feel my stomach clutch. Hair wasn't supposed to do that, not in the '50s. Gene Vincent's was greasy, James Brown's extravagantly pompadoured, Elvis...
