...Portrait of G.I.s At the end of World War II, TIME did a cover story on Pulitzer-prize-winning cartoonist Bill Mauldin and the fellow soldiers he depicted for American military newspapers [June 18, 1945]. Private Mauldin's famous drawings showed folks at home what it was like to be in the trenches. Some of the descriptions applied to Mauldin's 45th Infantry Division soldiers, Willie and Joe, would also fit the experiences of the American service members chosen as TIME's 2003 Person of the Year...
...Willie and Joe, cartoonist BILL MAULDIN, who died last week at 81, created an unlikely and imperishable pair of American icons. These unshaven, hollow-eyed, grimy World War II infantry dogfaces appeared in the pages of the Army newspaper Stars and Stripes, fighting not just the Germans during the Italian campaign but also tedium, wet socks, lousy K rations and their commanding officers.

Dupri, whose real last name is Mauldin, brought his parents, who are divorced, along for the ride: his mother, Tina Mauldin, runs his production company, and Dupri's deal helped his father, Michael Mauldin (a former road manager for various old-school R.-and-B. groups), land a job as vice president of black music at Columbia...
...Julia moved to the Web, where she's lived ever since, more or less unmolested by the two dozen souls a day who stumble across her. Mauldin, meantime, graduated from bots to spiders. A researcher at Carnegie Mellon University, he designed Lycos, one of the first search engines on the Web. But Julia remained his first love. And earlier this year he started a company in Pittsburgh, Pa., called Virtual Personalities Inc., that will transplant Julia's artificial intelligence into other onscreen beings. He wants to build online games that even girls will play. "Boys like video games because they...
