...that he was relying on Reagan Administration veterans for advice rather than his father's circle, conservatives got the message and cheered. For Dole, who reads from the Bible daily and talks openly about her faith, the assault by some in the Christian right is a lesson in the often irrational bitterness that divides the G.O.P.--something her husband, who ran for President three times, knows all about. "Some of these people you can't satisfy," says the former Senator. "They're just out there to criticize. You'll never find a perfect candidate for them...
...escape." He regrets he cannot go to restaurants; he fears assassination too much. Last year an attempt was made on his life in a northern town, using remote-controlled rockets. "In a way I am living in a prison without walls," he tells TIME. Within the compound, he often works till 1 a.m. or 2 a.m, and last week he was busily pitting his instinct to survive against the U.S. State Department's preferred way of dealing with the Khmer Rouge's bloody legacy. His only relaxation is chess. Grinning, he says, "I usually...

A study published this month in Developmental Psychology found that most parents tend to follow that policy, but not because they think it's most effective. Parents have a sense that they should be intervening, especially with younger children. Yet those same parents fail to follow their instincts because they...
Movie sound tracks are often a jumble of machine-generated Top 40 hits or tracks that weren't good enough to make other albums. The sound track for the movie Life is refreshing because it reflects a singular vision. Although the album features artists ranging from R. and B./hip-hop diva Mya to country singer Trisha Yearwood, virtually all the songs were written by one performer, R. Kelly. Life lacks the inventive brilliance of, say, Prince's 1989 Batman sound track, but it is a consistently pleasant album. And it's worth listening to if only for the title song...
