...DreamWorks, Kennedy and Marshall decided to strike out on their own. "We wanted to have a family"--the traditional kind, says Kennedy. (They have two daughters, 9 and 11.) "We didn't want to become movie moguls and move into being executives within a company. We like making movies." Husband and wife produce films separately as well as together. Bourne is Marshall's baby, Diving Bell Kennedy's. Crystal Skull is a joint project. What the two share is a basic philosophy: "We're helping the director get his or her vision up onscreen," says Marshall...
...baby's gender beforehand to planning the birth. But recently some have taken up another debate, over a cut that used to be nearly as routine in the U.S. as that of the umbilical cord: circumcision.

In too many nations worldwide, politics is still, sadly, a family affair...
...addicted to gambling. The group meets once a week to hear Tan speak, and to share stories of angry spouses, loan sharks and backsliding. A young nurse who hadn't placed a bet in six months admits she relapsed four days earlier after a fight with her husband. "He wanted money in order to grant me a divorce," says the mother of two. She lost $515 playing baccarat. A well-dressed engineer says that he's considered kidnapping children for ransom in order to pay off $500,000 in gambling debts. Tan has heard these stories before. He listens patiently...
