...their fight. Four years later, both women are cancer free, but Andre has continued to aid the anticancer cause with fund-raising tennis events and by contributing to Tami Agassi's recently published Star Palate cookbook (Documentary Media). The book gathers recipes from celebrities like Anna Kournikova (Ukrainian borscht), Emeril Lagasse (veal shanks), Britney Spears (seafood pasta) and even Bill Gates (clam chowder). All proceeds will go to breast- and ovarian-cancer research. Andre and his wife, tennis great Steffi Graf, contributed their favorite roast-turkey recipe. "Stef and I really enjoy spending time together in the kitchen," he says...

Many more will come before May 1, the official expansion date...
...Colorado Rockies, a sprawling, gilded campus that looks like casino magnate Steve Wynn's take on Tibet, has gone from 1,342 visitors in 1998 to a projected 15,000 this year. The Catskills hotels in New York are turning into meditation retreats so quickly that the Borscht Belt is being renamed the Buddhist Belt. And, as with any great American trend that finds its way onto the cover of TIME, many of these meditators are famous. To name just a few: Goldie Hawn, Shania Twain, Heather Graham, Richard Gere and Al Gore, if he still counts as famous...
