...ever watch Project Runway when it airs? How do the edited versions of the show compare with what the TV viewers never see? -John C. Mohn, Jr., Cornwall, PAI always watch Project Runway when it airs. And if I'm not home I DVR it. I have to say that the editing is brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. I'm there with the show, day in and day out, and I don't know that I could tell a cohesive story. Whenever one of the designers has the lack of presence of mind to say "you know, I wasn't really like...
...intelligent design is just a smoke screen for those who think evolution is somehow ungodly. And that appalls the many scientists and science teachers who believe in evolution and also believe in God. "I accept evolution as the best scientific explanation for life as we know it," says Jeremy Mohn, a self-described "very religious" Methodist who teaches biology at Blue Valley Northwest High School, just a few minutes' drive from Bingman's school.

...Disney and Vivendi Universal are paying this as annual interest. TIME implied that I left "a slew of dubious new assets." The truth is that all the acquisitions under my leadership delivered the originally budgeted returns and Bertelsmann faced no write-off.

Thielen, 61, is both diplomatic and entrepreneurial (he also owns his own sausage factory), and he moved quickly to calm the situation, smoothing relations with Mohn and his wife Liz and reversing many of Middelhoff's most controversial moves. He abolished the post of chief operating officer and returned to the highly decentralized structure that had long been a Bertelsmann tradition, cutting 1 in 6 jobs at corporate headquarters. "The businesses are all so different and require such different management skills that one person can't run them all," Thielen says. To shore up profitability, he has sold the firm...
