...best known for??directing seminal films like All Quiet on the Western Front and 1956's Best Picture, Marty--which won him an Academy Award--but Delbert Mann preferred the autonomy and excitement of live TV during its heyday. Praised by critics for his stark, evocative style, the quiet filmmaker made more than 100 live TV dramas and 25 TV films. Among the best known: 1968's Heidi, which famously interrupted the final tense moments of a New York Jets-Oakland Raiders game that came to be known as the Heidi game. Mann...
Thank you for??the articles on breast cancer [Oct. 15]. My wife succumbed to the disease after a 10-year fight. During that time, I learned much about its diagnosis, treatment and funding.

As the wife of a former military officer, it saddens me that people forget we do not force anyone in this country to join the military...
...campaign manager for??Senator Barack Obama? I might vote for him if he's chosen as the Democratic candidate. But to list him as one of the 100 most influential people in the world? Come on. He is a U.S. Senator now, but in truth, what has he done besides be part African American, handsome and a presidential candidate? He's no more innovative in his rhetoric than other Democrats, and yet the press is certainly helping him in his campaign. Don't push candidates...
