...police say her son was busy cutting a taxi driver's throat on the night of Aug. 16, 1994, but Yang Shuxia says she knows better. "He was right here lying down next to me with the tube running into his arm," she says, pointing to the kang, a traditional brick sleeping platform found in most farmers' homes in this part of northeastern China. Yang and other family members insist that then 21-year-old Zhu Yanqiang couldn't even get to the toilet without help, much less sneak out to join in the brutal robbery-murder that took place...
...Brown's prize was certain; his campaign would turn into a cross-country victory tour. Yet he arrived at the London launch venue not in pomp and splendor but by crowded Tube train. "There was a classic British silence on board. Nobody stared," says Tom Stoddart, a photographer who traveled with Brown for Time, exclusively chronicling 10 days in his life as Prime Minister-in-waiting.

So while it's wise to do those in-flight stretches and stay hydrated during your journey, it's even better to arrange an hour or so of postflight pampering at your hotel...
...handful of recognized savants, unable to carry out the most basic everyday tasks, but a bona fide genius at the keyboard. Born 14 weeks premature, he weighed only 700 g and his heart stopped three times before the doctors could stabilize him. An irregular flow of oxygen through a tube left him blind and brain damaged. Unable to communicate verbally, the young Paravicini taught himself to play the piano and let the music do the talking. His first song was the Irish folk tune Molly Malone, one of his nanny's favorites, hammered out on a battered electric organ...
