...hallmarks of the newsmagazine format that Henry Luce and Briton Hadden created in 1923 was a penchant for telling stories through people. Carlyle defined history as "the biography of great men." Similarly, Luce and Hadden's TIME showed that journalism, the rough draft of history, could illuminate momentous events by profiling the gifted and powerful personalities who helped shape them. Nowhere more so than in TIME's selection of a Person of the Year, which has been a highlight since 1927. These iconic figures--statesmen, visionaries, tyrants, unexpected heroes like New York City Mayor RUDY GIULIANI--were singled out because...
...looks. What is beyond dispute is that two men of very different skills, instincts and histories found in each other the counterpart who could take them places they couldn't go alone, at a time when the American journey turned suddenly perilous.

But it may take longer to heal relations between Senate Republicans and the White House, whose heavy hand in the affair has both Lott supporters and opponents on Capitol Hill grumbling...
...tell an Italian that you're heading to this or that city in Italy, the response is almost always the same: Oooh! Lì si mangia bene (rough translation: the eating's good there). Italians are famously proud of their own neighborhood cuisine, but they're as eager to taste what's cooking down the road. And if you force an Italian to choose just one city where the local cuisine is better than the rest, the winner - always after careful thought - more often than not turns out to be Bologna. The traditional Bolognese menu of egg-based pasta, thick...
