...felt this was actually a more honest description of my article than anything I had said before. I didn’t expect Caleb to confess to Oval Office dreams. I sort of hoped he wouldn’t. What I wanted to know was how he would respond to the fact that, despite his denials, his fellow students perceived him as wanting to be president...
...Mile and in the starring role in Uptown Girls, as a rock star's daughter who becomes Dakota Fanning's nanny. She flitted memorably through Sin City and squirmed inside the romantic straitjacket of Just Married with Ashton Kutcher (who for a time was also her beau). I confess I missed a lot of Murphy's appearances before the camera. (See TIME's tribute to people who passed away...
...more relaxed, clever and ingratiating on The Daily Show). After his first night away from New York's 24-hour symphony of noise, Paul awakens to observe that Wyoming is "very quiet.

Among the evidence gathered for the false charge: her London education, collection of classical-music records and taste for marmalade. Stripped of her name, Prisoner 1806 lost her daughter--killed by Red Guards while Cheng was in jail--but never her resolve. Released in 1973, she eventually settled in Washington, where she died Nov. 2 at 94. Even after China embraced economic reforms and shed much of its communist rigor, Cheng never returned home.
