Writing a best-selling novel isn't the same thing as editing a best-selling newspaper. PETE HAMILL, author of Snow in August, proved that last week when, after eight scant months, he was more or less forced to resign as editor of the New York Daily News by owner Mortimer Zuckerman. Hamill can perhaps put in a brotherly call to Michael Kelly, who was fired from his position as editor of the New Republic after only 10 months. "This is a journal of opinion, and the gap between his opinions and mine was increasingly wide," says the magazine...
...apart from going jogging with CHELSEA--wearing a T shirt given to him by a 16-year-old Israeli boy who's terminally ill--and fitting in a little golfing, Clinton used much of the time for that great solitary pursuit, reading. He delved into Snow in August by Pete Hamill and The Heat Is On by Ross Gelbspan, while Hillary read best seller The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger. And after all that, there was still time to admire the "very lovely sculpture" that Toiv announced Hillary got Bill for his birthday. Sometimes a vacation is just a vacation...
...other hand, animated films have an infinite life cycle. "Snow White has sold 28 million copies, and it's a 60-year-old production," Jobs points out.

At Pixar we're just getting started, and it's very magical. It's like the computer industry was in the early days...
...that serve as weather "tracks" in both the northern and southern hemispheres. A dip in the northern hemisphere's jet stream, for instance, can be expected to direct moisture-laden storms on a more southerly route over the U.S., while a nudge in the opposite direction will result in snow and rain farther north. But figuring out exactly how a particular El Nino will affect North America is no easy matter because particular effects can be amplified or reduced by other phenomena that are less well understood...
...they allow for other deities presiding over other worlds. Smith stated that God was once a humanlike being who had a wife and in fact still has a body of "flesh and bones." Mormons also believe that men, in a process known as deification, may become God-like. Lorenzo Snow, an early President and Prophet, famously aphorized, "As man is now, God once was; as God now is, man may become." Mormonism excludes original sin, whose expiation most Christians understand as Christ's great gift to humankind in dying on the Cross...
