...problem with asserting moral authority nightly on live TV is that inevitably someone will one day challenge it. For Fox News anchor BILL O'REILLY, that time is now. His former producer ANDREA MACKRIS filed a sexual-harassment suit against him last week with some very awkward talking points: Mackris alleges O'Reilly bombarded her with unwanted sex chat in person and by phone, including a fantasy of massaging her with a loofah while sharing a shower in the Caribbean. On his show, O'Reilly, who is suing Mackris for extortion, called her suit "the single most evil thing...

That these inventive personalities are now jockeying over the online travel business is no coincidence. A true coming of age is under way for Web-based services as bookings migrate online and competitors scurry to capture a piece...

Fox and Ron Reagan, fully half of voters now favor developing new cell lines. In the new TIME poll, 49% of voters say Kerry--who would quickly end Bush's funding ban--is closer to their position on the issue; 34% say the President is closer to their view.
