Like most Jewish kids, I dreamed of one day controlling the media. Specifically, I wanted to run a TV network. As I grew older, this became less of a possibility, partly because a big part of being a network executive seemed to involve owning a suit. But then my digital-cable box neared 200 channels, designer-outlet stores became more prevalent, and my dream moved within reach. Six months ago I called Trio, an obscure arts channel that reaches just under 20 million homes and doesn't even get a Nielsen rating, and asked if they would...
...interview with TIME last week, Bremer, dressed in an ensemble befitting a Washington power broker in a war zone--pinstripe suit, red tie, white pocket square, combat boots--was keen to emphasize the coalition's successes but seemed all too aware of growing Iraqi impatience. "Saddam took 35 years to run the place down, and it's not going to take 35 days to fix it. People need to be patient. And I know that's hard when the temperature's 124° and the electricity goes off.

No doubt Grace will outgrow it before next summer, but you don't want to get in the way of a grandparent intent on grabbing. --With reporting by Amy Bonesteel/Atlanta and Esther Chapman/Omaha
...same number of supporters as Kerry-but they're younger, more enthusiastic and much more creative. Some are wearing white doctors' coats, brandishing stethoscopes and passing out tongue depressors with the words "Rx for America: Howard Dean." The Governor, however, seems unprepared for parading. He's wearing navy pinstripe suit pants, a blue business shirt and his perennial black penny loafers. When we shake hands, he blurts the first thing that comes to mind: "It's good we're not right behind the horses. That always happens in Vermont-it's a message, I guess. You have to watch your...
