...many of us, family reunions aren't the way we want to spend our hard-earned vacation days. Weddings and funerals suffice as time enough with long-lost relatives. But there's a growing crew who are reinventing the old notion of a family gala--morphing it into something that more closely resembles a travel tour with plenty of sightseeing and time just to noodle around. "More and more reunions are about going to a destination and combining the gathering of the family with all the fun attractions the area has to offer," says Lawrence Basirico, Ph.D., author...
...part, Khan hasn't seen or spoken to his Pakistani relatives since he was eight. But a cease-fire announced in November, and an agreement last week by India and Pakistan to begin peace talks in February, have set him dreaming of a reunion. "It will be a new beginning," says Khan. "My family will meet once more, and life will start in our valley again." In his isolation, cut off in a war zone that until last month the Indian army kept off-limits to all but a few farmers, Khan cannot know that his relatives, whom TIME...
...Shaheed Muhammad, pictured above working on the forthcoming reunion album by A Tribe Called Quest, knows a thing or two about recording studios.

I went to my 20year reunion at Brown, and nothing had changed but the paint." Even so, Cornell, Dartmouth and the University of Pennsylvania are among the Ivies spending millions to spiff up their dorms. Stanford University is in the middle of a $300 million housing renovation. Still, says Rodger Whitney, executive director of Stanford's student housing, "We're not going in the direction...
...Even on the page, the siren-sucker relationship is a lot livelier than in Truffaut?s frozen ?Mermaid.? Which, by the way, never gets to Mississippi, or even to North America. The first setting is Reunion Island, in the Indian Ocean; then Louis follows Julie to Marseille, and they finish in the snow of Switzerland. The movie?s emotional trajectory is also from hot to cold, earth tones to glacial whites. For a man obsessed, Belmondo plays it low-voltage; Deneuve is only the most gorgeous paperweight. The film has no heat, only humidity, and that in the early going...
