...human mind can move through time in any direction and at any speed it chooses. Our ability to close our eyes and imagine the pleasures of Super Bowl Sunday or remember the excesses of New Year's Eve is a fairly recent evolutionary development, and our talent for doing this is unparalleled in the animal kingdom. We are a race of time travelers, unfettered by chronology and capable of visiting the future or revisiting the past whenever we wish. If our neural time machines are damaged by illness, age or accident, we may become trapped in the present. Alzheimer...

...films like Kenneth Branagh's The Magic Flute and the upcoming Elizabeth sequel, The Golden Age, contributed $290 million. But the real boost came from outsiders, especially U.S. studios, which poured $1.12 billion into filming Bond and Potter as well as non-English creations using the country's locations, talent or technical know-how. That's the level of activity the industry might have expected after a bumper year like 2003 when Bridget Jones joined forces with Troy and Alexander to help generate $2.2 billion...

...sits me down and puts me through a series of questions, watching me all the while. I tell her about my train ride to nearby Philadelphia that morning and discover that I have just been evaluated on small talk. I pass. (I got into trouble for just that talent in high school.) She asks me about my background, my education. She evaluates my posture (Stand up straighter!), my demeanor (there is a "slight current of negativity"), my conversational mannerisms (I put my hands on my face and forehead, a no-no). We are now in the Mom Zone, times...

...lucky to have a deep pool of talent directing our China coverage. Our Beijing bureau chief, Simon Elegant, was born in Hong Kong, has degrees in Chinese history and language, and has written two novels about China. Bill Powell, who lives in Shanghai with his wife, a native Shanghainese, was formerly Newsweek's bureau chief in Moscow, Berlin and Tokyo and FORTUNE's man in Beijing. Hannah Beech, another fluent Chinese speaker who was born in Hong Kong, recently moved from Shanghai to Bangkok but will continue to report on China's influence throughout Asia. Adi Ignatius, a TIME executive...

...ranked 26, Safin looms as a possibility courtesy of sheer talent (the Agassi factor) and a strong finish to 2006 in Russia's Davis Cup victory. Then again, it's easy to be biased toward a player who presents as charming, funny, candid, self-deprecating, philosophical and smart. Safin's compatriot, Nikolay Davydenko, who's risen to world No. 3 despite a body that appears more suited to chess, has been a quarter-finalist in Melbourne the previous two years and could sneak into the semis this time before many fans can say his name right. James Blake (U.S.), Tommy...
