...book was being shipped, Breashears was nowhere to be found. Having already visited Mount Everest 10 times, he flew back again last month to film a documentary for the PBS series Frontline. Two weeks ago he talked to TIME by satellite hookup from the base camp on the northern, Tibetan face of the mountain, and discussed the making of his film, the creation of his book and the lessons taught by the fatal climb.

Dubbed the Schoolboy Pilot--he drank milk in flight and called his parents after every landing--Buck flew a 28-hour 1930 trip from Newark, N.J., to Los Angeles, setting the junior transcontinental speed record, and made a record round trip to Havana in 13 hours.

Seinfeld managed to be his usual blasé self, saying as he flew, "They tell me Scorsese did the same thing last year for Departed." When Rock reminded him of the skimpy costume Sacha Baron Cohen wore on the Croisette last year - ?You know Borat just showed up in his underwear? - Seinfeld claimed, ?I?m wearing the same outfit underneath. In yellow...
...Russian Orthodox Church was torn in two by revolution and regicide, by the enmity between communism and capitalism, nearly a century of fulmination and hatred. That all formally ended on Thursday in Moscow. Thousands of the Russian Orthodox faithful - including several hundred who flew in from New York - lined up under heavy rain to get into the Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Savior. There, they witnessed the restoration of the "Canonical Communion and Reunification" of the Moscow-based Russian Orthodox Church (ROC), which claims more than 70 million adherents, and the U.S.-based Russian Orthodox Church Abroad (ROCOR), which...
