...Thomas founded his first Wendy's in Columbus, Ohio in 1969, and by 1996 the chain (Wendy was his daughter Melinda's nickname), consisted of 4,800 establishments in the United States and more than 30 countries across the globe. He achieved all of this without earning his high school diploma (he did finally receive one in 1993), which he later listed as one of the biggest mistakes of his life. "We have 4,000 restaurants today, but if I had gotten my high school diploma, we might have 8,000," he said...
...Dawson (Penn) is an adult with the mental and emotional age of a seven-year-old. But he's "special" in the best sense--a generous, industrious soul, especially when he's with his daughter Lucy (total charmer Dakota Fanning). Lucy is a sweet, bright kid, devoted to her hampered dad, but now that she is 7, she has started to outstrip Sam in reading and social skills.

...Lydon's daughter spray-painted directions to the restaurant on numerous construction planks that have sprouted in the cleanup zone, which other stores also use as free billboards.

Before wrapping it for Jenna, Mrs. Bush hastily read Still Alive: A Holocaust Girlhood Remembered, by Ruth Kluger, about "an interesting mother-daughter relationship. They're all interesting," she says, adding that the twins like to comment on her appearance ("Mom, your hair moves as a unit!"). She has hinted that she might write a book about Barney the Scottish terrier if she could "get that $8 million advance or whatever...
Soraya Parlika didn't have to run secret schools for young women when the Taliban ruled Kabul. She didn't have to open her home for meetings on women's rights in a place that spat on the concept. She is, after all, the daughter of wealthy parents, the sister of a former Foreign Minister, a university graduate; she could have fled to the West long ago. But her parents always told her to care about the poor, and Afghanistan's women are among the poorest. "I promised myself years ago that I would fight for the women of Afghanistan...
