...Scott Donaton, editor of Advertising Age. At the Wall Street Journal, where dot.coms flock to woo potential investors, ad revenues jumped 32% in the third quarter. And it's not just industry chroniclers like Business Week and Fast Company that are enjoying the windfall. Periodicals from the Austin American-Statesman to Successful Farming are also getting...

From the beginning, academic and author Ernestine Misslbeck Schlant, 64, seemed to see him for who he wanted to be: a thinker, not just a jock; a statesman, not just a pol; sensitive and warm, not just arrogantly bright. Indeed, Dan Okimoto, Stanford professor and Bradley's college roommate, recalls that when Bradley first told him of Ernestine, he didn't start off by describing what she looked like but, rather, how she looked at him: though 30 cm shorter than...
