...first to appear twice was Mrs. Herbert ("Lou") Hoover, and Queen Mary of England was the first to be pictured three times, but PRINCESS DIANA tops the list of women on TIME's cover, having turned up within the red border a grand total of nine times. Runner-up is a tie, with eight covers apiece for both the VIRGIN MARY and HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON (we aren't counting the tiny insert pics of Hillary on two Zippergate covers).

"Have you ever heard of freestyle like this?" they asked in one of the songs. "Not at Harvard, not until now," would have probably been...
...animated films that are made for theaters, TV and home video [ARTS, Nov. 22]. As every American fan knows, Japanese animation is an eclectic art form. Anime can look like anything: kiddie fare (Pokemon), teenage fantasies (Gundam), bittersweet romance (Maison Ikkoku) and cyberpunk (Armitage). Now that the characters of Princess Mononoke and Perfect Blue have come to American theaters, the rest of the world will finally discover what it means to be an otaku, or obsessive animaniac.
