...Welfare Rights Union - a Philly-based organization for the poor and homeless - gathered at City Hall for a trek to the RNC site at the First Union Center in South Philadelphia. Thousands of single-file protesters started down four miles of Broad Street. Placards and banners alternated with chanters ("Hey, hey! Ho, ho! Poverty has got to go!"); a 13-wheelchair convoy of accessible housing advocates; and a giant elephant head with a cleverly hinged trunk. One protesting canine had "LOVE" shaved into his flank (missed, it seems, by the PETA contingent in giant pig costumes who cruised through...
...surveys show that 60% of Americans favor repealing an inheritance tax that is levied on only the wealthiest 2% of the population? I'd guess that the reason could be expressed with a motto that has been used by the New York Lottery: "Hey, you never know." I'm familiar with that feeling. For years I've fantasized about inheriting a pile of money from someone I've never heard of, and frankly, I'm not eager to pay taxes...
...protesters in front of a grocery store, some dressed as monarch butterflies, others as Frankenstein's monster. Signs reading HELL NO, WE WON'T GROW IT! People in white biohazard jumpsuits pitching Campbell's soup and Kellogg's cornflakes into a mock toxic-waste bin. The crowd shouting, "Hey, hey, ho, ho--GMO has got to go!"

Mike, a Methodist from a divorced family, and Kelly, a Southern Baptist from an intact family, each had had serious relationships--and painful breakups. Both wanted this supercommitment. "I know we live in a tough world," Kelly acknowledges, "but, hey, we're in this for the long haul." Their way of thinking is typical of covenant couples, says Steven Nock, a professor of sociology at the University of Virginia who's doing a five-year study comparing Louisiana covenant-marriage couples with the norm. Already, he has noted a divide in their thinking about time: noncovenant couples, he observes...
Every self-respecting person these days wants to be an innovator ("Hey, that was my idea!"), but it's the rare one who will really change the world in some way. Innovators have to be singularly bold and defiant for their ideas to survive the not-innovated-here syndrome. You will find that kind of passion among the 100 people we plan to profile in a new 18-part monthly series called Innovators that begins in this issue. Subtitled "TIME 100: The Next Wave," it carries forward the series in which we profiled the 100 leaders of the 20th century...
