Which is exactly what The Cunning Man is: a leisurely look back at the formation of an intriguing character and unusual doctor. ("My nose," he asserts, "is one of my principal diagnostic instruments.") "We old men are garrulous," Hullah says in passing, and he seems in no greater hurry to end his life story than he does to stop living. He recounts his pilgrimage from a rural Canadian village through school and World War II service in the medical corps with cool good humor and plenty of diverting asides ("What has nature produced more totally ravishing than a beautiful, witty...
TELEVISION IN THE 1960s and early '70s did not lack absurdities. It was a time when viewers were entertained by a flying nun, a buxom genie and a suburban witch who twitched her nose. Yet of all the ridiculous TV shows of the era, two stand out for their enduring, unfathomable allure: The Brady Bunch, the sitcom about an adage-spewing stepfamily cavorting on an Astroturf lawn, and Gilligan's Island, the tale of seven mismatched castaways on an island that seemed oddly close to Hollywood.

Lebed's loud, deep voice also projects extraordinary strength--he can speak in thunderclaps. But when he was interviewed recently in Tiraspol by TIME Moscow bureau chief John Kohan and reporter Yuri Zarakhovich, Lebed's manner was calm even as he denounced the ``windbags'' running the Russian army, proclaimed that the crackdown on Chechnya must have...
