Porush has a gaunt face wreathed in a wispy, white beard, a visage that photographers have trouble making look cuddly and friendly. And so, instead of a photo, Porush is represented on posters by a cartoon figure of a smiling rabbi. It does little to warm the hearts of non-haredim, however. Porush recently told his followers, "In another 10 years, there won't be a single secular mayor anywhere except in some rundown village." That is a day that many ordinary Israelis in Tel Aviv and elsewhere would dread. Already, droves of secular Jerusalemites are leaving the city, stifled...
When Jobs, who battled pancreatic cancer four years ago and has been the subject of whispers of ill health since he appeared looking gaunt at the Macworld conference in June, took the stage today, it was in front of a giant slide that said, "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated...
...Robert Novak are just the highest profile of the 1.4 million Americans who will get a diagnosis of cancer this year. Walk into the oncology waiting room of a hospital and you'll find it hard not to notice the crowd--or the balding heads, the yellow faces, that gaunt prisoner-of-war look of those who are well into their chemotherapy.

Fujimoto calls himself an "ex-human" (apparently he's undergone a sea-change operation) and has the imperious zeal...
...media. And Saint Ingrid has responded with inspiring grace and cool. She was feted at a glam-glitz reception by a rapturous Nicolas Sarkozy within hours of touching down in Paris on July 4. The fine features of the Paris-raised Colombian now grace countless magazine covers, replacing the gaunt image that had been prevalent until last week, one taken from a proof-of-life video and hung on city halls across France in solidarity. This week's Paris Match cover shows her laughing on a rooftop terrace in cashmere sweater and pearl earrings, with 40 pages inside about...
