...Cruise, 27, is the movies' biggest star, with nothing but promise on the horizon. Just ask two masters he has apprenticed with: Dustin Hoffman, the decade's most lauded actor, and Paul Newman, the last golden exemplar of Hollywood star quality. "There's no sense of a crest in Tom," says Hoffman, who won an Oscar as Cruise's brother in Rain Man. "His talent is young, his body is young, his spirit is young.

Although 60% of Japan's 123 million citizens were born after the 1947 constitution stripped the monarchy of divinity, the national vigil demonstrated that the monarchy still meant something more than the chrysanthemum crest on a ceremonial curtain. "The Emperor is the center of Japan's national psyche," said Seisuke Okuno, a 75-year-old Liberal Democratic member of parliament. That sentiment was not restricted to the old or the far right.
