...that Bacharach - who conducted the orchestra - inserts one of his signature flugelhorn solos into the bridge; Raindrops is Isley's song now. Cyndi Lauper doesn't have Isley's voice - or anybody's voice - and the thought of her attacking the Etta James classic At Last (it's like Hamlet's "To be or not to be" speech for chanteuses) at first seems like a profoundly bad idea. But throughout her standards album, also titled At Last, Lauper embraces her own fragility. She's not strong on the high notes of Walk On By (again with the Bacharach!) or Unchained...
Hailing from the hamlet of Monroe, La., the Crimson’s point guard fits the Southern stereotype to a certain extent—she is anti-abortion (although, according to her friends, she respectfully won’t get into arguments about her politics), participates in Harvard’s Christian Bible study group and even hunts deer in her spare time (no, not in Cambridge). Moore has lived in Monroe all her life, and during her junior year of high school accepted a basketball scholarship to powerhouse Louisiana Tech. However, after two years of attending the school just...
Xinmin is a village on the verge of extinction. Nearly every resident of this swampy, 1,000-strong hamlet in the central Chinese province of Hunan is infected by the parasitic worm Schistosoma japonicum.

For a while...
...year, life expectancy was just 48 years and one in nine infants died; the average islander now lives to 73 on a comfortable $2,100 a year. The capital Mal? is no longer a squalid speck of dirt and disease between India and Africa but a genteel hamlet of cobbled roads, shoreline restaurants and tasteful coffeehouses. Gayoom boasts that he is both an environmental and religious champion, protecting reefs and 300,000 Muslim Maldivians from the twin dangers of global warming and the bikini-clad hordes who crowd the islands' 87 high-end resorts. Today, the 40,000 tourists...
...effort to break the Democratic filibuster on President Bush's judicial nominees, REPUBLICAN SENATORS like Bill Frist, above, took in cots and blankets to launch a marathon session on the Senate floor. Mark Pryor read from Robert Caro's Master of the Senate; Rick Santorum quoted from Hamlet. The literary pajama party lasted nearly 40 hours, finally ending last Friday morning--after which the Democrats still managed to block three Bush nominees...
