...Hearst, Winston Churchill wrote, "I got to like him--a grave simple child...playing with the most expensive toys." Others found little to like or admire about the man. But Nasaw tells his story with such nuance and understanding that the reader never fully loses sympathy, even when the Chief was paying Hitler and Mussolini to write for his papers, and Hearst and his columnists were smearing innocent people...
...station with no ride home." Now, as the resident ham-radio operator and mayor of his "neighborhood," or hall, Stasco says, "there's no time to feel bad." That goes for physical health as well. Jessie Walters, 79, a resident of the Oaks at Forsyth in Winston-Salem, N.C., recalls a grim prognosis from doctors after she had a massive heart attack earlier this year.

Their conclusion echoes that of another study of female heart patients, published 18 months ago, that...
When an American Internet merchant like Jeff Bezos joins Charles Lindbergh and Winston Churchill in the pantheon of TIME's Men of the Year, it's all too easy to assume that the economic future belongs exclusively to the U.S. and that Europe will become a quaint museum dependent on tourism and some luxury niches for its livelihood. Too easy--and wrong. While the Old World is still bedeviled by archaic habits and practices, it enjoys a global lead, possibly unsurpassable, in certain sectors that are at the heart of the technological revolution...
