...study's chief limitation is the nature of its data. "By virtue of Getty's motivation as a market-driven business," the authors write, "its database is an accurate measure of what one might call the 'events that matter.'" To be more precise, though, the database generally catalogs glitzy events where shutterbugs can count on preening targets with boldface names. That's great if you work for Page Six or can waltz past the velvet ropes at Les Deux. But the study seems not to hone in on places generating buzz but rather on those whose names already resonate.

When my kid was young I got up at 4 or 5 in the morning and I would write. Then I would get him up at 7, take him to school, do my radio show and pick him up. Once the kids are in school, it's amazing what...
FILM COMPOSERS DON'T write melodies so much as emotions; their music is the heartbeat that gives movie images instant and lasting resonance. Jarre, who died in Los Angeles on March 29 at 84, put this knowledge to use in his first famous scores: the heroic theme that lent a galloping grandeur to David Lean's 1962 Middle Eastern western, Lawrence of Arabia, and the chorus of balalaikas in Lean's 1965 Doctor Zhivago that promised ecstatic reunion after the grimmest separation.

Even in the fine-jewelry business, designers are taking the long view, using reclaimed gold to save one of our most imperiled natural resources. This special supplement to TIME is dedicated...
...baby with the proverbial bathwater; nobody’s suggesting that we should lack initiative. It makes sense for those who desire to be doctors to take organic chemistry or engage in lab work now, just as it makes sense for would-be writers to read novels and write for publications. Not setting strict goals, however, is much different from not working hard. Being 30-something and still living in your parents’ basement off vague dreams is not the successful result of a broad education. But to retain forever the mindset of being...
