...Lord help those PGA pros if Tiger takes his personal transgressions out on them. He has already demonstrated his considerable powers of concentration on the golf course while juggling his, um, complicated family life, which has included the birth of two children, the death of his father, major knee surgery and rebuilding his golf swing. He's still Tiger Woods. Not John Daly...
...year Twitter was the big winner. The social-networking site was the fastest-rising search query, beating out Web rivals Facebook (No. 3) and Hulu (No. 4) for the top spot. But absent the cybertrifecta, the 2009 list is predictably grim. In a year that saw the "Summer of Death," Michael Jackson was the second fastest-rising term, and Natasha Richardson (No. 8) and Farrah Fawcett (No. 9) made the top 10. The only celebrity who's still among us that managed to crack the list? Lady Gaga, who catapulted to fame this year and landed...
...years in jail (for being caught with anti-Dutch paraphernalia), you'd think anything would be a welcome change. But Pram, as he's popularly known, found the place foul and unlivable. The gutters were full of human ordure and the air stale from the smell of "cheap death," he recalled in the story "My Kampung," from his early collection Tales from Djakarta.

The U.S. government revoked his citizenship and, in 1987, Demjanjuk went on trial in Israel, accused of being the notorious guard Ivan the Terrible. He was convicted of crimes against humanity and sentenced to death. But in 1993, his conviction was overturned on appeal by the Israeli Supreme Court, which ruled that he wasn't the guard in question. Demjanjuk...
...would thus be crazy to write off Sheik Mohammed, or Dubai, for that matter. The sheik is a hereditary leader whose ruling tribal lines date back to 1833. Although he only formally became Dubai's ruler in 2006 upon the death of a brother, he has been the driving force behind the emirate for three decades. Of equal importance, his ambition and competence have made him a leading figure - presently serving as Vice President, Prime Minister and Defense Minister - in the United Arab Emirates, the country created by a confederation of seven Arab sheikdoms in 1971. No leader...
