Looks as if JENNA BUSH may shed her label as the naughty twin. The President's blond daughter, perhaps best known for taking creative license with her driver's license, is writing Ana's Story: A Journey of Hope, a nonfiction book due this fall about a 17-year-old single mother who is HIV-positive. Bush, 25, who has been interning in Latin America for UNICEF (which will get a portion of the proceeds), says she hopes to "motivate young Americans to increase their awareness of other young people around the world." If only she had connections, the book...
...already taken steps on the long and winding road toward picking her FAS dean-to-be. She is reconvening a faculty committee formed last year to advise Interim President Derek C.

One benefit of this emphasis on primary sources, says Guttentag, is that it helped distance Nanking from the bitter controversy that has sprung up over different interpretations of the massacre. "This is not a film where we had historians commenting...
...have to look too far to see why people looked down on Smith. In fact, you need only look precisely where she wanted you to: at the double-D twin attention rockets that helped blast her to stardom. (In life Smith was coy about the specifics of her plastic surgery--its existence confirmed, grimly, by the medical examiner after her death--even if she was not shy about displaying the results.) We have a Puritan suspicion of people who improve on what nature gave them. FX's Nip/Tuck both glamorizes and moralizes about plastic surgery. Last year Hillary Clinton dealt...
