Mike Wallace, 87, honed his style in the 1950s on Night Beat, where the host, cigarette smoke swirling in the air, grilled the guest on a dimly lit set. In 1968, he joined a new show called 60 Minutes, and helped change TV journalism forever. He met with TIME's Jim Kelly to talk about his new book, Between You and Me, his interview style and his epitaph...
...Christie doesn't like Shakespeare. So when Kenneth Branagh wanted her for his lush new Hamlet, she was disinclined to accept. "I just find Gertrude such a weird part. And I didn't know if I wanted to get into all that emotionalizing," says the actress whose cool presence lit up classic films like Dr. Zhivago and McCabe & Mrs. Miller but who hasn't been seen much onscreen since the '60s and early '70s.

He built walls around a massage bed in the back of his shop and furnished it with towels, a low-lit lamp, and a small mirror angled just so above the bed. With fraying tassels and a lacy black shawl hanging from the ceiling, the room is more evocative of a Victorian boudoir than a therapeutic massage parlor...
