...like no other figure I'd ever covered. Of course, I'd missed his prime: the outcries from his unpopular stances on Church doctrine, his inspiring globetrotting and world-changing ways. But I did get to see flashes of his famous charisma, both in occasional moments of physical and verbal strength and in the way he faced down illness and death with utter dignity. At the time, it was difficult to watch John Paul's final two appearances from his window in the papal apartments last month. But when we will watch it in the future, that final frail...

He had initialed the accord on his visit to China 15 months ago, but the signing was stalled when U.S. intelligence officials said that Chinese scientists had been spotted at a plant in Pakistan where nuclear weapons were being developed.

...issue of TIME, AAR is enjoying monthly double-digit ballooning in ad sales revenue - a rate that Jon Sinton, AAR's president, expects to continue for the next two years. Commercials for national brands like Geico and Volkswagen can now be heard along with spots for Verbal Advantage vocabulary builders (one of Limbaugh's early sponsors), sexual potency pills and "clinical hypnotherapist" Wendi Friesen's promises of happiness, weight loss and freedom from nicotine addiction if you'll just let her talk in your sleep...
