...Ivan After skirting the western coasts of Cuba and the Cayman Islands, Hurricane Ivan dialed up its ferocity for two heart-stopping days last week, squeezing through the narrow channel that separates the Caribbean Sea from the Gulf of Mexico as a monstrous Category 5 storm with winds approaching 260 km/h. Fortunately, by the time Ivan made landfall in the U.S. state of Alabama, its winds had gentled to 210 km/h - but that was plenty bad enough. Those who rode out the storm told harrowing tales of cringing in the dark and hearing winds that screamed like jet engines. They...
APRIL. "I don't mind," Alex Trebek tells E! "Ken and I are good friends." Ken's margins of victory narrow. Barely holds his own against two Caltech mathematicians, but his elegant proof of Von Stumpfnagel's theorem gives him a thrilling come-from-behind victory when both profs neglect to carry the 2.

"Had any of you decided that you didn't want to get something done," Bush said, "the process would have cratered." California Democrat George Miller was worried that there was not enough money. "Let's not pretend the education establishment...
...Forty-eight people, eight boats, three dogs and one monkey on a leash - together they assemble on a narrow island in the Seine to enjoy a summer?s day and the spectacle of one another. What?s wrong with this picture? From a distance some of the figures have the heft and stability of Mesopotamian statuary. But step closer, and they dissolve into a force field of bristling molecules. Step back again, and they also appear like paper cutouts, flat and stiff. Are they enjoying themselves or just impersonating themselves? It won?t do to ask the monumental couple...
