...Madonna and her husband, Guy Ritchie, were granted temporary custody of a 13-month-old Malawian orphan named David Banda. This sparked a storm of accusations, ranging from the criminal - that Madonna used her fame to bypass adoption procedures - to the scathing: that Madonna is a dilettante, treating an African child as this season's must-have accessory. The legal issue has been laid to rest - no laws were violated - but Madonna still had plenty to get off her chest in a rare print interview with TIME's Josh Tyrangiel...

For the third time in 12 days, 6-month-old Ullash has been admitted to the ICDDR's children's ward; just one of 325 patients admitted within the last 24 hours. The boy weighs only 69% of the expected weight for his age and is malnourished. He has a high fever, a cough and persistent diarrhea. His parents...
...know that everybody snores from time to time-even my 90-lb. dog and my 15-month-old baby-but I was still embarrassed. I suspected my snoring had something to do with the onset of the fall allergy season-a theory supported by a study of French allergy sufferers published in the Archives of Internal Medicine last week that found that most of them were troubled by some kind of sleeping problem and that 35% had full-blown insomnia.
