...mistook him for a diffident patrician, an image he seemed to project with his neatly trimmed white hair, bow tie, tweed jacket, gray socks and grandfatherly laugh. In fact, Beck-the son of a Ukrainian socialist father and a "rather dominant" Russian mother, according to Weishaar-is a tireless defender of his therapy. He spoke to me with bemusement about the new wave of therapies. "I don't think you call something a revolution until it's actually happened," he said, chuckling. "You get new, popular approaches that come in, and then they often die out, and they...
...today the leader of a nation that is living a paradox. We are isolated in our immigration laws and trade tariffs, but global-minded in our foreign policy and corporate reach; we have the strongest armed forces in history, and yet our military is bogged down in Iraq by tireless insurgents; our economy is the largest and most important in the world, but its current stability hinges precariously on oil prices , terrorist threats, and a soaring trade deficit...
...tireless, perhaps even annoying, and wouldn't take no for an answer-just the kind of qualities that might be required to rally the Democratic troops gearing up for the best chance the party has to take back Congress since the GOP won both the House and Senate in 1994.

TIME named Snuppy "Invention of the Year" for 2005, but that was merely the icing on a cake of praise and recognition for Hwang. Scientists from around the world were clamoring...
That was radical, highly charged stuff, but in time it found a suitable champion. Teresa of Avila, born in 1515, was one of the Catholic Church's great mystics and--through tireless work founding and defending a new model for convents and monasteries--a heroine of the Counter-Reformation, Catholicism's vigorous response to the challenge of Protestantism. After prayer to Joseph cured her of an early case of paralysis, she adopted him as her "true father," stating that "in heaven God does whatever he commands." Teresa took the Nazareth household as the model for her order and named...
