...amounts of emotional energy in the characters who inhabit our favorite books. We expect an author to ensure that our heroes and villains remain true to themselves. In this way, we feel empathy for them. Imagine our sense of betrayal if we found out at the end of Moby Dick that Captain Ahab had lost his leg in a riding accident rather than to a whale. If the events that define a character's personality and interaction with the world have been greatly embellished or never occurred, a story loses its meaning and power to move. Frey's A Million...
...wonderful world of Pixar worth? More than a billion dollars a picture, or $6.3 billion? That's what Disney agreed to spend last week to bring Lasseter, Jobs and the Pixar supporting cast into the Magic Kingdom. "Clearly, it's a lot of money," Walt Disney Studios chairman Dick Cook told TIME, adding that "all the different scenarios had to be presented and analyzed" before the board would sign off.

In 1990 gubernatorial challenger Barbara Hafer called incumbent Bob Casey ?A redneck Irishman,? propelling him to a second term, and Dick Thornburgh?s aide once called his boss ?The salvation of this sorry-ass state,? pretty much assuring that Harris Wofford would become the state's next U.S. senator in 1991. So it seems that, thanks to Seif's gaffe, both Swann and Scranton will get in the record books, just...
TIME quoted Dick Cheney, who said, "If you're calling Aunt Sadie in Paris, we're probably not really interested." How about listening in on what a political rival is up to or TIME'S next big story about the Administration? If there is no judicial oversight of eavesdropping, how can the President be prevented from using it for personal gain? Do the American people really have that much trust in the Bush Administration after the lies about the reasons for the war in Iraq? It is not news that the U.S. has no respect for civil liberties outside...
