...abandon technology, or at least vacation from it occasionally. First-time--and best-selling--author Timothy Ferriss has become a Silicon Valley darling by pushing his low-information diet as the secret to achieving The 4-Hour Workweek, which among other things involves checking e-mail no more than twice a day. Maybe it's worth taking the test: Do our devices really make us more efficient or less so? Do they bind us--or isolate us, becoming screens against intimacy and contact, zoom lenses that let us operate from a safe distance so that we seem closer than...

Dr. Fulga, 47, is the scientific brain behind a new treatment for heart disease that is exciting the medical world even though it has yet to undergo full clinical testing...
...another popular route to brain gain for many Harvard graduates. Those accepted as corps members in the program teach in low-income schools for two years in an attempt to close the achievement gap of American education.

Fernandes expects to fly 4 million passengers this year, twice as many as in 2003. His success heralds a revolution in the airline industry in Asia. Although Americans and Europeans have benefited from low-cost air travel for years, tight regulation, powerful national-flag carriers and a dearth of airports have kept budget airlines at bay in Asia.
