...wonder Van Dyke isn't getting out. "People say, Van Dyke, why in the hell don't you retire?" he says. "Well, hell, I don't hunt and fish. I don't play golf. My wife won't let me chase girls, so what else is there?" And like any other great oilman, he's still got big dreams. "I'm taking all the properties we have in West Africa, going to make a great big sale, probably to the Chinese, the Indians, going to keep about a 15% interest." A deal like that could make him a billionaire...

Keith Young’s spirited choreography transforms every inch of the cramped quarters into performance space—the result is a dance sequence as exhilarating as any Steve McQueen car chase or Chow Yun-Fat shoot-out.The film’s acting and singing is uniformly strong, possibly because most of the original Broadway cast reprises their roles: The exceptions are Tracie Thoms as straitlaced lesbian lawyer Joanne and Rosario Dawson as the HIV-positive Latina heroine.

Some dreamers chase butterflies. FRANCISCO GUTIERREZ pursues them through international airspace. This fall the Mexican hang glider flew more than 4,000 miles, following the annual migration of the monarch butterfly from Montreal to Mexico's Michoacán state in his ultralight plane.

The Top 10 racers fight it out over the last 10 races--you score points based on how you finish and for lead laps--for the overall driving title. "All the emotion of a championship that other sports had is now part of our sport," says NASCAR president Mike Helton...
...when it's time to be aggressive, I can still be aggressive. I haven't forgotten how to do that." He won five of the tour's 26 regular races, and going into last weekend's race in Fort Worth, Texas, he had a 43-point lead in the Chase over a posse including Johnson, Biffle, Kyle Busch and veterans Rusty Wallace, 49, and Mark Martin, 46, who are on their last laps before retiring this year. That seems like enough of a cushion. Then again, this is NASCAR: 43 racers start each event, but there are more parts than...
