...Nelson Mandela, fresh from an adulation-filled trip to London, got royal treatment of a different order when Michael Jackson showed up at his 78th birthday party. Oddly, Jackson didn't join in during the singing of Happy Birthday. No loss for Mandela, who likes to dance (he does a mean toyi-toyi) but whose taste leans more toward '50s township music than...
RICHARD STENGEL, after working at TIME as a staff writer and associate editor, became an occasional contributor in 1989. It was a happy accommodation that gave us the benefit of his talents while freeing him for larger projects--like the two-year collaboration with Nelson Mandela that produced Mandela's 1994 autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom.

But I thought it was all talk...
...Clinton camp on Monday, Dole "opposes an FDA limit on tobacco ads that appeal to children." But the Dole campaign begs to differ: while Dole opposes smoking ads that might encourage kids to smoke, he prefers to let states set their own bans, according to Dole press secretary Nelson Warfield. "This has less to do with what Dole really believes than it does with Dole's character," says TIME's Eric Pooley. "You have to put up with a tremendous amount of inanity in politics, and this incident shows how much better Clinton is at handling these situations than Dole...
