JAMES V. KIMSEY, 61 It may be the best office in Washington: a corner suite one block from the White House, with a sweeping view of the Washington Monument. It's only fitting that the office of Oliver Carr, the city's premier bricks-and-mortar developer for the past 40 years, now belongs to James V.

Procter & Gamble has backed out as a sponsor. In an exclusive interview with TIME, Schlessinger...

"It was a Mickey Mouse move," cracks Albert Mohler Jr., president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, the SBC's premier teaching institution.
