Praise be: a religious drama that is devout without reeking of sanctimony. Eunice Kennedy Shriver and her son Bobby Shriver are the executive producers of this inspirational film, which celebrates Mary's faith and wisdom. While the teleplay admittedly takes dramatic license, it is true to the Gospels. The dialogue is refreshingly unstilted, and the spare, understated performances of newcomer Melinda Kinnaman as the young Mary, Pernilla August (The Phantom Menace) as the mature Mary, and Christian Bale (Velvet Goldmine) as Jesus are credible and moving. One cranky question: Why do American filmmakers always insist that biblical figures spoke with...
...today's celebrity-obsessed world, it may never be too early to start your children on learning their stars--and we're not talking astronomy. See if you (or the kids!) can match these celebrity children's authors and their new books! 1. MARIO CUOMO; 2. MARIA SHRIVER; 3. DEBORAH NORVILLE; 4. BOB DYLAN...
...compound in Hyannisport anymore ? too haunted ? but the Vardinoyiannis compound in Ekali, a suburb of Athens, an estate that not only subsumes an entire block but is most helpfully surrounded by a nine-foot wall.

Not in his 20s, when he helped devise a program to improve treatment for the disabled that started in gritty New York City neighborhoods and is now being copied overseas. And not when a charity he worked with wanted to know how kids in a drug-prevention program were faring, and Kennedy went to talk with some himself...
Take the group that could be Kennedy's most important legacy, even if George survives. He founded Reaching Up in 1987, two years after his aunt Eunice Shriver initiated one of those peculiarly Kennedy intrafamily competitions. She assigned the Kennedy kids the task of inventing projects to help people with mental disabilities, a cause she and her siblings had long championed. The kids would vote on who had designed the best proposals, and a family foundation would award the winning ideas $50,000 apiece...
