FREETOWN, SIERRA LEONE -- Taking advantage of a Red Cross-brokered cease fire, U.S. Marine helicopters flew another 1,200 foreign residents out of the beleaguered West African capital today, bringing the total number of evacuees to approximately 2,400 since Friday.

He released a superb solo album under his own name two years later but got entangled in protracted legal bloodletting with the head of his former label, Saul Zaentz (who is also the much Oscared producer of One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest and The English Patient).

Kluger, who joined TIME's science staff last August, toured Weil's home, a converted horse stable, and found Weil to be energetic, engaging and quite sincere in his belief that he is helping improve America's health. Weil faithfully follows most of his own good-health gospel, says Kluger, although like many fiftysomethings, he has a hard time keeping his weight...
