On Beverly Hills, 90210, the suspiciously unlined mother of all teen soaps, which ran from 1990 to 2000, even the richest kids were happy with an after-school Coke at the retro diner. Not so on just plain 90210, an extreme makeover of the '90s show debuting Sept. 2 on the CW network with new characters and - in teen years - a geologic era's worth of social and cultural updates...

"Life is one week," Hlynur says as the film...
Across Africa, Asia and Latin America, programs are under way that are reminiscent of China's successful use of village-based health workers--the so-called barefoot doctors--a few decades ago, but today's workers have even better health-care tools. The mother of all community health efforts is India's National Rural Health Mission. Initiated by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and spearheaded by the young, dynamic Minister of Health, Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss, the program has, in just over three years, mobilized more than half a million new community health workers, each known as an ASHA--short for "accredited...
