...handmade works of art, which are available at Bergdorf Goodman in New York City and mostly take the form of animals but also the odd musical instrument, has become a rite of passage of sorts for Paris' chicest shops: the sculptures have appeared in the store windows of Christian Lacroix, Chopard, Yves Saint Laurent and Le Bon March?...
...event-a goofy affair under the best of circumstances-had gone fatally exotic. Paul had one of the largest groups of supporters. So did Kansas Senator Sam Brownback, who provided a massive air-conditioned tent that looked something like the Denver airport and featured nonstop evangelical preachers and a Christian rock band that strip-mined Stevie Wonder for songs like Signed, Sealed, Delivered, Jesus, I'm Yours.

...pull another Goldwater and lose spectacularly, on principle, as they did in 1964? If the straw poll is any test, the answer is no. The Paul forces turned out mostly to be nonvoting out-of-staters.

Fifty years later, when TIME editors Nancy Gibbs and Michael Duffy visited Graham, they saw that the man who has been on countless magazine covers had only three hung on his office wall: the TIME cover from 1954, a 1992 TIME cover called A CHRISTIAN IN WINTER, and THE PRODIGAL SON, our last Graham cover, with his son Franklin, from 1996. Nancy and Michael's book, The Preacher and the Presidents, was conceived after they covered the 2004 election. It is the inspiration for a one-hour ABC documentary on Graham, hosted by Charles Gibson, airing Friday, Aug. 10. Gibbs...
