...whole nation seemed to roar back. With that greeting, the 56-year-old former law professor did more than herald the regime's demise. He also won for the moment the hearts of the Serbian people who had given him their votes two weeks earlier. Kostunica's ability to unite the fractious Serbian opposition and defeat Slobodan Milosevic at the polls was an astonishing political feat, but even his allies wondered whether the taciturn scholar had it in him to lead a popular revolt. He did. Kostunica didn't want events to be settled in Belgrade's streets, but once...
Judy Melvin, a professor in Phoenix, Ariz., who hired a coach at a friend's urging, credits coaching with turning her life around. Melvin, 46 and single, has lost 40 lbs., joined a dating service and is better organized on the job. "My coach holds me accountable," she says.

He had "divorced" the Yale English department. He hated e-books. If you have a mind like Bloom's, no problem...
...bathhouses, starred in Beaches and so on--with the persona of the Divine Miss M, the blowsy, flighty, attention-craving alter ego Midler created in her stage shows. "Bette" blitzes her way through the series, to the bemusement and exhaustion of her family and support group: her professor husband (Kevin Dunn), her teenage daughter (Marina Malota), her manager (Joanna Gleason) and her fussy British accompanist (James Dreyfus). "You can't have Bette Midler on television playing a housewife," says Lane. "It would have been hard to separate the character from the entertainer we all know. It would also have been...
