...afield that can really use your $10 or more--that really do have needs. Ironically, Massachusetts--home to the University with the largest endowment in the world and the seventh richest non-profit in the U.S. as of 1996--ranked last among the 50 states last year in the "Generosity Index," a figure computed by the Boston-based Catalogue for Philanthropy. The index score reflects the fact that in 1996, Massachusetts residents ranked third in income earned and 43rd in charitable deductions...
...game: to pursue meant to woo, and to bed meant to wed. Sexual modesty fostered not only a more civil society but also a sexier world. A glimpse of a knee, the graze of a shoulder sent shivers. Delicious! But now women are encouraged to be like men, and what a mess it is. The refined has been replaced by the vulgar, and sex has become just the thing you do on the third date. Is it surprising that girls lack self-esteem, that sexual harassment abounds, that men act like boys and women ultimately sit home alone? If only...
...reporters from around the world to bring us the fascinating tale of Turkey's manhunt for Kurdish militant Abdullah Ocalan. The team followed the circuitous path of the "globe-trotting guerrilla" from Syria to Kenya, the site of his capture. Correspondents reported on protests in more than 20 cities, interviewed intelligence sources in four countries and even managed to contact several aides who were with Ocalan during his final hours of freedom. "Our efforts fell under TIME's grand tradition of group journalism," says Sancton, who knows it well, having entered his third decade with the magazine. "That approach...
...prefer to make Oscar-night predictions based on which acceptance speeches I do and do not want to hear. For instance, I wouldn't bet on whether Tom Hanks will receive a third Best Actor statuette for Saving Private Ryan, but I do know that if he wins, he will offer a halting, heartfelt tribute to the veterans of World War II. Hanks can be eloquent, and veterans obviously deserve the recognition, but we have congressional resolutions and postage stamps for that sort of thing. What we have awards shows for is displays of sheer, naked narcissism. "I'm king...
...vast warehouse of stars. "Celebrity icons are brands," says JOHN DOONER, McCann-Erickson's CEO, "and there may be opportunities to work with like-minded brands in the corporate world." Such work will probably be more subtle than, say, SEAN PENN doing a Coke commercial. "We're not in the advertising business; we're in the publicity business," notes PMK partner PAT KINGSLEY (the third PMK pooh-bah: LOIS SMITH). But by schmoozing with its new friends in the entertainment biz, says Dart, McCann-Erickson will be able to "tip off its clients to trends that are emerging"--in effect...
