...falsification, caused their children innumerable harmful hospital procedures." (Patients with Munchausen Syndrome, named for a fictional character known for tall tales, fake their own symptoms.) In the U.K. and elsewhere, MSBP has become an increasingly common diagnosis, as medical and law- enforcement professionals became familiar with the catalog of MSBP indicators. The FBI profile of the typical perpetrator, for example, warns that they "are most often biological mothers of the victims ... welcome medical tests that are painful to the child ... and appear to be very knowledgeable about the victim's illness." Such parents seem loving, yet enjoy the attention generated...
...needs to be. The brilliance of Napster 1.0 lay in its simplicity and comprehensive catalog of songs. No pay service has been able to sufficiently untangle the copyright mess to allow for a broad range of downloadable music. Apple's iTunes Music Store made a breakthrough in April by letting users download individual songs for 99¢ a pop (as opposed to requiring a monthly subscription plan). RealNetworks' Rhapsody music service scored last week when it added some 500 Rolling Stones tracks to its 350,000-song catalog. Napster 2.0 promises 500,000 songs at launch--but that's still less...

She started a tiny catalog business selling suits made by a New Hampshire sample maker out of fabric Matthias bought retail. The first catalog brought in $3,000 in sales. Last year the enterprise, which now includes 1,000 stores in three price ranges (Motherhood, Mimi Maternity and A Pea in the Pod), grossed half...
James Scully says he "flipped" the first time he saw pictures of model Liya Kebede three years ago, but the fashion-industry casting agent had trouble finding others whose enthusiasm matched his. Liya had already spent a couple of years in Chicago slogging away at catalog work, the style world's equivalent of toiling off-off-Broadway. When Liya moved to New York City in 2000, Scully took her portfolio around to designers and advertisers, who unfailingly turned him away. "The line I'd always get was, 'Wait until she's more experienced,'" he says. It wasn't until...
...subsided, but the Ivory Tower continues to find ways to address topical issues. Students this fall will find a book-bagful of courses--from Martha Stewart to the military--that acknowledge what's happening in the real world. Here's a TIME sampler of some newcomers to the catalog. --By Maggie Shnayerson...
