...more (and at least a few against the big guns like Basso and Ullrich, when, and if, they can race again). Though Landis's tale doesn't include a return from cancer, his gutsy comeback, while enduring searing hip pain, gives it some Lance-like back-from-the-brink flair. Landis, an Armstrong domestique before a somewhat acrimonious split last year, had a social, not a medical, obstacle to contend with - his conservative Mennonite upbringing in Pennsylvania, where his parents eschewed television, dancing and especially Landis's bike habit. He's a little looser than Lance. "You'd want Lance...
...then at least to an art that values truth. No one has mastered that task more deftly than Jan Morris, 79, the England-born, thoroughly Welsh writer and historian. In more than 40 books and countless essays over the past half-century, she has marshaled reportorial insight and literary flair to describe nearly every interesting place on the planet.

Just as Terry McMillan put the spotlight on the African-American reading community, Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez's best-selling first novel, The Dirty Girls Social Club, focused attention on, and energized, the Hispanic literary scene in 2003. Now she's back with a lively new book, Make Him Look Good (St. Martin's Press), which plays up Miami's music, club and modeling scenes. She spoke with Andrea Sachs, TIME's publishing reporter, about the politics of immigration, Lou Dobbs and being labeled as Latina...
...Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan happy. The three men had worked closely in the Ford White House, and Cheney thought he was bringing the band back together. But reunion tours don't work much better in government than they do in rock 'n' roll, and O'Neill, who had a flair for candor that matched Cheney's for secrecy, quit - or was fired, depending on whose account you believe - after two shaky years...
