...ADOLF HITLER Hitler was the first malign figure to be selected as POY, and his evil only grew during the next several years. Hitler's ruthless domination of Europe was, said TIME, "the greatest threatening force that the democratic, freedom-loving world faces today." The 1938 Munich pact confirmed it: he won a hands-off promise from Britain and France, and the stage was set for his pursuit of World...
...understand in the first place, with their energy trading and e-tailing and telling people they've got mail. None of the news seemed at all fresh this year: Attacking Iraq? Jimmy Carter getting a peace prize? Smallpox vaccinations? Droughts plaguing Western farmers? Liza Minnelli getting married? Axis of evil? Airline bankruptcies? Ozzy Osbourne?

Coleen Rowley became enamored with the FBI's fictionalized ideal long before she heard of the real thing.

At various times during the ordeal, she has been screamed at and she has been patronized, say her colleagues. She continued to work, keeping long hours to help the accounting firm KPMG redo Andersen's audit and staying at her parents' house because...
...enduring appeal of the fantasy genre is, as you reported, multifaceted. The most compelling and perhaps least recognized reason is that it gives the reader a truly flexible medium in which to explore larger-than-life issues. The best fantasy is about much more than good vs. evil, the expression of magic or nostalgia for a simpler time. The greatness of The Lord of the Rings is in its exploration of the consequences of a great task that falls to an unwilling and unlikely recipient and the expression of inner strength and personal transformation that result. Tolkien succeeds by telling...
