Rush Limbaugh and Howard Stern, whose combined 40 hours a week of taunting talk, schoolyard humor and bracing political incorrectness made radio the year's hot -- and hot air -- medium. But mere radio couldn't contain these two word warriors. Limbaugh reworked his sprightly right-wing monologues into a potent TV series and two top-selling books. Stern, whose autobiography was also a chart topper, planned to end the year with a lavish, lurid pay- cable special.

This year HarperSanFrancisco, which publishes some of the best known of his dozens of adult titles, including Mere Christianity (a collection of those radio talks) and The Screwtape Letters (a set of funny-creepy faux missives from a senior devil to his nephew), sold 843,000 copies, twice as many as in 2001. Multiple books about Lewis debut annually; this year's crop features Jacobs' biography and Jack's Life (Broadman & Holman) by Lewis' stepson Douglas Gresham. In 1947, a TIME cover story hailed Lewis as "one of the most influential...
