...Titan could indeed be the Walt Disney of the solar system," says TIME Science correspondent Jeffrey Kluger, "a cryogenic version of Earth waiting to be revived." And its time is coming. Six billion years from now, as the Sun expands outward in Elvis-like death throes and Earth and Mars have long been incinerated, Titan will enter its spring. Its surface temperature will creep above freezing, and life may indeed sprout -- giving the new organisms about 500 million years to evolve and achieve space travel before they, too, are engulfed in flames...

Boosted by its TV brand name and backed by parent Walt Disney Co., ESPN is guaranteeing advertisers an initial circulation of 350,000 and hopes to reach 2 million in five years, vs. SI's 3.15 million. Not that anyone is keeping score yet. The goal isn't to grab SI readers, says ESPN editor in chief John Papenek: "We're thinking about all those people who don't read a sports magazine." SI has added pictures and short news items up front, but managing editor Bill Colson says he "would have done it regardless of ESPN's appearance...

...juiciest revelations: Under oath, Clinton denied any sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky beyond kissing on the mouth. He said their relationship did include exchanging messages and gifts -- including that now infamous book of Walt Whitman poetry. The President admitted talking with his friend Vernon Jordan, who resumed his grand jury testimony Thursday, about the Washington power broker?s efforts to find the former intern a job.

Currie, the President?s private secretary...

...last month after their companies pulled in record sales and profits. But not Lawrence Coss, the chief executive officer of mobile-home lender Green Tree Financial, who in 1996 surprisingly topped the list of highest-paid corporate leaders--overshadowing such titans as the Travelers Group's Sanford Weill and Walt Disney's Michael Eisner. Whoops! To his dismay, Coss may have to repay $40 million of the $102 million bonus he received that year because Green Tree now concedes that accounting errors led it to overstate profits. Says the taciturn and reclusive Coss of the financial revision, which included nearly...
