| In our celebrity-besotted culture, the arts have an irresistible attraction for young people. But jobs in the arts are not as plentiful as stars in the sky (or even as stars in Hollywood). Actor and playwright Anna Deavere Smith offers guidance in her new book, Letters to a Young Artist: Straight-up Advice on Making a Life in the Arts.

She also portrays the national security adviser on West Wing. |

| Rescuers lifted a stranded whale out of London's Thames River today and are taking it by barge toward the open sea.
