Much like a strong presidential ticket, covering the White House for TIME requires teamwork, indefatigable energy and more than a dollop of personal chemistry. Which brings us to Washington correspondents Michael Duffy and Dan Goodgame -- the Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid of the presidential beat -- who have been covering the Bush Administration together since Inauguration Day 1989. At first glance, they are, well, different from each other: the voluble, wisecracking Duffy is the inside-the-Beltway political junkie, while Goodgame, a Mississippi native and Rhodes scholar, is the laid-back outsider, always searching for the Big Picture...
...wave of raves is overtaking conventional night life with unbridled energy and a brash new sound. Part funky fashion show, part techno music dance-a-thon, part politically correct flea market, raves are loopy high-tech love-ins laced with a playful sense of the absurd (and with a dollop of illicit drugs...
...transformed this once depressed South Atlantic outpost into the wealthiest enclave in the hemisphere. Last week former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher received a hero's welcome as she touched down in the Falklands to celebrate the anniversary of the military victory.

In 1980 Pearman grew restless with the dog-eat-dog world of litigation and erected the world's first combination law office and wienerama, which offers legal help to go every Wednesday night. And while his culinary canines range in price from a $1.15 plain Plaintiff Dog to a fully dressed $1.45 Judge Dog, Pearman's jurisprudence plat du jour...
...reason- together approach that prizes loyalty and enthusiasm over virtuosity. Not surprisingly, his repertoire is centered on the classics from Mozart to Mahler, which he conducts with short punchy gestures, usually without a baton. In Leipzig he led as many as 90 performances a year, including a healthy dollop of new music, mostly commissioned from East German composers. Says Masur: "I always told our audiences, 'You read not only Goethe and Schiller but contemporary writers as well, so you should expect the same in music...
