...status ladder of network news, anchoring a morning newscast has long been a sign that you haven't quite made it to the top rung of superstardom. Today co-anchor Katie Couric, one of NBC's biggest stars despite the fact that she has to appear in full makeup at 7 a.m., has gone a long way toward disproving that accepted wisdom. Still, early-morning duty is widely regarded as a stepping stone to the really plum jobs on the evening news or one of the prime-time newsmagazines...

Better than his stats is his abandon, which belies the fact that superstardom is his birthright. "I still go out there reckless," Griffey told TIME last week. "That's how I play. I don't know any other way." Which is why so many legions, especially kids, love him: 4.2 million voted him onto the All-Star team this season; 1 million bought a candy bar named after him when it was introduced in 1989--despite the fact that it contained no nougat whatsoever...

Kennedy's gold standard of presidential superstardom, his personality has overshadowed recent politics to a degree far surpassing any of his post-Kennedy predecessors'. With his palpable need to be loved, Clinton is surely the most psychologically compelling President we have had since the dark one-two punch of Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon. Plus, he offers us the warmth and charisma of Ronald Reagan, the vigor, shall we say, of Kennedy and, somewhere in the mix, a dollop of Jimmy Carter's sanctimoniousness...

...usual fifteen minutes allotted the average pop-art rebel. For a man whose work seemed hopelessly mired in subculture, Mapplethorpe bridged a lot of cultural gaps. His most recent incarnation as a kind of Ansel Adams for the East Village set well served the artist's quest for superstardom. Familiarity may breed contempt, but it also tends to breed, well, familiarity. The socially acceptable Mapplethorpe, particularly his sedate though well-rendered floral photographs, is still cropping up in respectable, and highly visible, places...
