...asking or pushed away or ignored. So I became my own person. I was considered different. Inside I felt I was right. TIME: Do you regret giving up modeling? Dirie: No, life is about changes, and I had better things to do. It was fun, but it was meaningless. It's sad how many girls in the West make modeling their dream and goal. They should keep a focus on something else at the same time...
...Davis' record - the state's enormous budget deficit, sluggish economy and last year's energy crisis. For his part, Davis has zeroed in on Simon's potential weaknesses: he's a conservative, pro-life Republican with little experience. Worse, Simon has allowed Davis to sidetrack him on several meaningless issues. In April, Davis released his income tax returns and called on Simon to do the same.

"One major change in the last 10 days has been that the U.S., Britain and other coalition members have said publicly and forcefully that Pakistan should stop cross-border terrorism," he says. "Our Prime Minister took really...
...death from a heart attack in 1989, he was a member of the Congress of People's Deputies, intent on reforming the Soviet constitution. What Sakharov might have conceived and discovered "if not for his work on thermonuclear weapons and human rights" is a reasonable but fundamentally meaningless question, concludes Lourie. "He created himself through his choices," he writes, and "like everyone else, was formed by a fate he did not get to choose." Sakharov, Lourie says, is "as elusive in death as he was in life," something that is reflected in the stars. An asteroid in the belt between...
