...People beat provides unusual private glimpses of the most public figures. Thigpen has interviewed a disparate constellation of celebrities, from ex-President Jimmy Carter ("He was a lot shorter than I expected") to Basketball Great Julius Erving ("He wasn't"). Garcia's favorites have included Actress Daryl Hannah ("very sweet and unpretentious") and Singer-Songwriter Sting ("amazingly thoughtful for a rock star...
...Andrea Jaeger, her father has required her to rest every year from late November to mid-January, and to the dismay of tournament promoters, has kept her schedule reasonable. "Sometimes I have to be Mr. Graf," he says. "It's no fun." But the results have been as sweet as hot raspberries. "She is a champion from within. All from within," he says.

The creaky jet still has some spirit as it thunders up through the gray clouds and is away. The Iran-contra mess seems to fade to a whisper, the deficits and the trade struggle to diminish magically. At 37,000 ft., the world looks green and serene...
...Fame for 37 years of his Peanuts comic strip, which is carried in some 2,000 papers in 36 countries. Schulz is characteristically reflective about the enduring popularity of Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy, Snoopy and the rest of the gang. "They're nice little kids," he explains, "not overly sweet -- people you can live with day after day." Nonetheless, Schulz bridles at critics who suggest that the strip has gone stale in recent years, insisting, "It is better drawn, and it has more depth than ever." What's more, Schulz still works from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., five days...
