“Head shaven, gold teeth glistening and torso shining, onstage James

Earl Jones is at least twice as large as life,” Newsweek wrote of Jones’

groundbreaking performance in The Great White Hope. His portrayal of Jack

Johnson, the first black heavyweight champion, was “one of those rare instances

of the right man in the right vehicle at the right time” mirroring the “tragedy of

the American black man.” Jones once told Newsweek, “I might even become a

star... but I’ll never be a rich actor.” Fifty years later, Jones’ rich, seven-decade long

career marks him as one of the greatest actors in American history.

Newsweek said of “tweens,” the liminal

life-stage between childhood and

adolescence. What can parents do about

their babies’ rush to maturity? One

mother acquiesced: “I just say to myself,

‘She’s a child of the ’90s.’”

“What began as a trickle now has turned

into a tidal wave,” Newsweek reported.

Google’s Android has “leapt past Apple

to become the biggest smart-phone

platform in the United States.” A decade

later, in the mobile rivalry of fruit and

machine, Android is still the most

popular operating system in America,

and the world.
