...glad to see the outpouring of support from people and nations around the globe for victims of the Indian Ocean tsunami. It demonstrates that there are still some very compassionate philanthropists in the world. Yet as the badly needed support arrives, the news is all about which countries are pledging the most assistance--and the U.S. is criticized for not giving more. Don't we in the U.S. contribute enough to the world? We are engaged in a war on terrorism that is draining our bank accounts, and we already send money to countries in need. I am sure...
DIED. AMRISH PURI, 72, Bollywood's most famous bad guy; of a brain hemorrhage; in Bombay.

Ham radio bridges the gap between countries and peoples; there are more than 750,000 operators in the U.S. and many thousands more overseas...

That changed with the Indian Ocean tsunami, when entire habitations were, like the Roman city in 79 A.D., erased by a rumbling from beneath the earth's crust. A BBC co-production (as is Dirty War), Pompeii gives a scientific blow-by-blow of Vesuvius' eruption. More interestingly--and with more resonance today--it tries to tell the disaster's human story...
...more than 40 books, the Indian-born doctor-turned-guru Deepak Chopra has offered spiritual guidance to a large and devoted following. In his latest, Peace Is the Way (Harmony; 263 pages), he envisions a world in which citizens make peace a priority and show respect for their opponents. He spoke with TIME's Andrea Sachs about God, war and his own popularity...
