...naturally gifted as he is as an actor (untrained, he studied communications), Cowell's instincts are even sharper as a writer. It was at university, after seeing David Rabe's 1984 play Hurlyburly, when he decided to become a playwright. "The idea of this man screaming at a television, on cocaine, just having a dialogue with the newsreader-I remember watching that scene and just wanting to write something like that, wanting to write this psychotic angry male spree," says Cowell, who premiered his first play, Men, at Sydney's shoebox-sized Old Fitzroy Theatre in 2000. "I have...
...telcos, including Verizon in New York, argue that city-owned systems have an unfair advantage over privately run ones--which could stifle competition. "Wi-fi as a public service has serious issues like network congestion and security," says Eric Rabe, Verizon's senior vice president for media relations. "Do you really want your government handling your e-mail?" Public outrage caused the telco fight to fizzle, with many bills getting killed or modified.

Contentment and inner peace are nice, but think how many Americans would start meditating if you could convince them they would live longer without having to jog or eat broccoli rabe. More than a decade ago, Dr. Dean Ornish argued that meditation, along with yoga and dieting, reversed the buildup of plaque in coronary arteries. Last April, at a meeting of the American Urological Association, he announced his most recent findings that meditation may slow prostate cancer. While his results were interesting, it's important to note that those patients were also dieting and doing yoga. Jon Kabat-Zinn...
...burner. Bedroom-eyed and sporting a dusting of stubble, DiSpirito runs Union Pacific, a paragon of gilded, inventive Manhattan dining. He is a regular on the Food Network and the Today show. Now he's hoping his two vocations will meld like orecchiette and broccoli rabe at his new restaurant, Rocco's, which doubles as the set of a reality-TV show. The Restaurant (NBC, Sundays, 10 p.m. E.T., starting July 20) will chronicle the (we're told) sexy, pressure-cooker world of a high-profile restaurant...
