...other hand, seasoned Star Trek fans will flock to the theaters simply to have another chance to see the Enterprise crew in action. And from that standpoint, the film succeeds. To an audience that knows the TV program well, these are not actors playing roles - they are the characters. We don't see accomplished Shakespearean actor Patrick Stewart successfully portraying a science fiction character; we see our old friend, Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Starship Enterprise...
...years, theater has had trouble attracting the kind of hip young audiences that flock to the movie multiplexes or gather in front of the TV set for Ally McBeal. But that may be changing. According to a recent study by Audience Research & Analysis, 41.8% of Broadway theatergoers last year were under 35.

TIME created a sensation by spotlighting the little-known Jean Paul Getty as the world's richest private citizen...
...stolen moment of authority for Mary Ramerman, one of many that she has shared with the rebels of Corpus Christi as they stand up to Rome. After joining the church in 1983, the 43-year-old mother of three ministered to her flock, preaching on a weekly basis, hearing confession and presiding at Mass. And though she neither granted absolution nor consecrated Communion, five years ago, the congregation recognized her leadership by vesting her with an alb and a half-stole. It was a gift that unleashed a host of hidden enemies...
