...doctors who kept trying was Stanford University's Norman Shumway, on whose surgical techniques Barnard had relied. His team of doctors and scientists developed a technique to determine whether a patient's body was gearing up to reject an organ, allowing them to tailor their prescriptions of immunosuppressants. The results were impressive. From 1968 to 1980, nearly 200 heart transplants were performed at Stanford. About 65% of Shumway's patients survived at least one year, and half hung on for five...

...world's creative types. Davide Grazioli, used to warmer climes, pulls his black woolly hat over his head and strides up Kastanien Allee - now dubbed Casting Alley because of all the wannabe film directors and actors who frequent its cafés. Grazioli is an Italian artist whose work includes unraveled embroideries from India and skulls made of organic incense. Three years ago, he moved to Berlin from Milan with his wife and young daughter, and though his German is rudimentary, he's reveling in the city. This year, he's branched out into "sustainable fashion," creating...

In Mitte, almost 30% of the population comes from abroad; before the Wall came down, the only foreigners were a smattering of East bloc diplomats. The new arrivals are literally rejuvenating Berlin's population: unlike the Germans themselves, whose birthrate is among the lowest in Europe, the foreigners are either bringing their children with them, or having them there. Mitte has the largest proportion of children under the age of 6. And that's not counting Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who show up from time to time with...

...people read William Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) anymore. But in the lands that used to form the British Empire he was immensely popular, from the 1930s right through to the 1980s, and he has a small fan base still. In his native England, he was a well-loved dramatist whose record of having four plays running concurrently in the West End remained unbroken for a generation. He climbed dizzying heights of fame and prosperity, lived a long life (of which nearly six decades were in circumstances of great renown), and besides being a writer was a doctor...

...that category, Emmerich has new competition from Lee Daniels, whose Precious has stormed the specialty box office after winning raves at festivals from Sundance to Cannes. Last week the indie drama - about a Harlem teenager who is illiterate, morbidly obese and pregnant for a second time by her abusive father - broke records in a very limited opening; this week it took in $6.1 million at just 174 theaters for a wowie-zowie $35,000 per screen. That's how Paranormal Activity started out. Fervently promoted by Tyler Perry (who brought the movie to his distributor, Lionsgate) and Oprah Winfrey, with...
