"I chalk it up to what I call the POC effect, which means that by naming Albert Einstein Person of the Century, we underscored how serious TIME is about covering science and the ways that science shapes...

Much of her appeal lies in our inability to explain away her bottomless neediness. "You can write down everything Lana Turner ever thought and felt and meant, and then put the pencil down," claimed Garland amour Joe Mankiewicz (the director and screenwriter of All About Eve). "That's it, a closed book. But I don't think anybody's going to close the book on Judy Garland." Not even Gerald Clarke--but he comes...
