...controversy that surrounds him, there are plenty of reasons for Null's popularity. Much of his health regimen is pretty sound stuff, a common-sense soup of exercise, herbalism, diet and more, all served up in an easy-to-understand style. What's more, Null does not seem motivated by profit. He leads a health-support group in Manhattan and charges nothing for enrollment, and despite fierce bidding for his manuscripts, he often chooses small publishers, and then may defer royalties to help make the project affordable. Null, says Bob Marty, producer of the PBS shows, is "a pretty generous...
...understand how, it helps to know two facts familiar to every Baltimore fan. The Orioles have the third highest payroll ($80 million) in major league baseball. And they have the American League's worst record. That's the kind of capitalist contradiction that Fidel Castro loves to exploit. Dirt poor but sports crazed, Cuba boasts one of the world's richest lodes of baseball talent--and proved it in Baltimore, as its stars savaged Oriole pitchers for 18 hits.

There are other dreams Brandy's after. For one, she wants to tour in Japan. She wants to look out at a crowd that doesn't understand a word she's singing and yet somehow feels what she's feeling.

The Dow began slipping steadily at the opening bell, before coming back to a 60-point loss by the close, a middling sell-off predicated on something like general unease. "It's really just uncertainty," says TIME senior economics correspondent Bernard Baumohl. "People are thinking about inflation again, and bond yields are very high -? which makes them suddenly look like a reasonable alternative to stocks if the Fed does...
...while I can never understand the full extent of the madness that drove some in Los Angeles to camp outside of the Mann's Chinese Theater for three weeks, or which inspired international fans to fly to the United States next week just so that they can see it before it opens abroad in July, the excitement in the air is contagious. My only hope is that all the hype has not constructed a reputation for "The Phantom Menace" that it cannot possibly live up to. The trilogy wasn't great because it was popular or because it made...
