ON THE COVER: Photograph of Brad Pitt by Theo Kingma, Shooting Star; photograph of royal family by Transworld Features Syndicate; photograph of Brooke Shields, Marissa Roth, Retna, Ltd.

FEATURES:
Cover Story: Brad Pitt The normally smooth sailing life of Brad Pitt has encountered a few squalls lately--namely his split with former fiancee Gwyneth Paltrow and the publication of some pesky nude photos in Playgirl. But now, as Seven Years in Tibet opens, the former choirboy from Kickapoo High is poised for good times again. By Janet Cawley.

Royals: An Heir-Raising Story And you thought your family had problems. Consider the Windsors--distant mother, overbearing father, and four difficult offspring: sensitive oldest son, horse-mad daughter, lusty second son, and theatrical baby. Plus one media-mad ex-wife and another given to out-of-control spending. Yes, it's England's royals. By Dorothy Rompalske.

Heroes: The Best Boss in the World Aaron Feuerstein, owner of Malden Mills, is one boss in a million. When fire destroyed his Massachusetts factory, throwing almost 3,200 people out of work, he continued to pay full salaries--and started rebuilding. His largesse cost about $1 million a week but, he says, "I only did what I thought was right." By John Kehoe.

Personalities: Brooke Shields Hard to believe, but gorgeous Brooke Shields had to ask a boy to take her to the prom. Today, the former child model and Princeton grad can count on new husband Andre Agassi for escort service--and her popular sitcom Suddenly Susan for job security. By Faye Penn Medicine: Face to Face with the Ebola Virus.

For 30 years, Dr. C.J. Peters has travelled the world, battling some of the most terrifying and lethal viruses known to man -- including the 1989 Ebola outbreak detailed in The Hot Zone. But despite the risks, he swears," There's nothing else I'd rather do." Besides, "This is one business where you can usually get a table to yourself at the cafeteria." By Laura Muha.

Afterlife: Tombstones Gregg Felsen goes out to where people end up. For 20 years, he's been visiting grave sites and photographing the final resting places of the famous and infamous. Biography brings you a Halloween sampling from his recent book, Tombstones.

Crime: Getting Inside the Mind of a Serial Killer FBI profiler John Douglas is a psychological detective who can look at a crime scene and predict whether a killer wet his bed or has a speech impediment. He's served as a model for Patricia Cornwell's character Benton Wesley and for investigator Jack Crawford in The Silence of the Lambs. "Behavior," he explains, "reflects personality." By Marjorie Rosen.

Celebrities: Has Courtney Love Gone Respectable? Substance abuser, disheveled rocker, devoted mom, Versace-clad sophisticate. Courtney Love has been all that and much more, cramming into her 33 years enough experience--both good and bad--to last most people several lifetimes. By David Goldman.

Sports: Baseball's King of Swing He swooped into the majors at 19 and now, eight years later, he's baseball's elite center fielder. Ken Griffey, Jr. says playing for the Seattle Mariners is more fun than work, but his sweet stroke also has produced a $34 million contract extension. By Jack Curry.

Controversy: Cold-Blooded Barry Once, Barry Scheck was a relatively obscure New York law professor who carved out a niche in the field of DNA law. Then came a stint as the scrappy forensics expert on O J.'s Dream Team, and love him or hate him, Scheck's now a national celebrity. By Kathy Passero.

History: Eleanor Roosevelt: First Lady of the World Eleanor Roosevelt's life as activist, educator, and adviser to her husband was one of nonstop movement and 18-hour workdays. Even the humiliation of learning FDR was with another woman when he died didn't stop her carrying on as the living symbol of her husband's views. By Chuck Wills.
