...that never sleeps. The latest quarterly installment of this work-documentary series takes us inside nocturnal work sites from a dairy farm to the cavernous belly of an online grocery store's warehouse. This balanced, smart hour treats work neither as a prison nor a paradise. And thanks to crisp editing and comedian-host Will Durst's common-man touch, it isn't a chore to watch...
They weren't a hundred feet high, but some exceptionally powerful waves were smashing against the sides of the Andrea Gail replica as it sat anchored about 12 miles out from Dana Point, Calif., during production of "The Perfect Storm" late last year. It was a beautiful, crisp, clear day when TIME Los Angeles correspondent Jeffrey Ressner spoke to movie director Wolfgang Petersen on the Gail, but the ship was rocking back and forth so badly that the cast and crew were not at their peak.

Upperclassmen lay quietly on the lawn talking or reading books, a social world apart from the forced friendliness...

Say you were descrying the future TV of 2000, 20 years ago. You might have predicted a remarkable, crisp, high-tech TV display. You might have called it, say, "HDTV." And you would have been right. Except HDTV is probably not in your living room. As with the De Lorean car, the mere existence of a $5,000 or $10,000 TV set isn't sufficient to persuade consumers to go into hock to get a sharper...
