FEATURES

Since her chart-topping coronation, Adele has been determined to balance her real life with her record-breaking career. From behind the scenes on her world tour, she opens up about the challenges of melancholy, motherhood, and mega-stardom. Photographs by Tom Munro.

130 PORTRAIT: ANDRE BISHOP By JACK O'BRIEN

Though he's run Lincoln Center Theater for 25 years and won 15 Tonys, there are things Andre Bishop still can't do: lie convincingly or worry less. To a close colleague, those are just two more reasons Bishop makes everyone better. Photograph by Annie Leibovitz.

132 BOND OF BRILLIANCE

By MICHAEL LEWIS When the author learned that a pair of Israeli psychologists had pioneered the theory behind Moneyball, his 2003 best-seller, several decades earlier, he wanted to know more. In an adaptation from his new book, he plumbs the partnership that made his story possible: a friendship with mind-altering results.

140 BATTLING THE DEVIL

By WILLIAM FRIEDKIN For his 1973 hit, The Exorcist, the author obsessed over the ritual expulsion of Satan but never witnessed one. When a Vatican expert invited him to attend—and film—a real exorcism this year, the Oscar-winning director began a journey that would be quite as chilling as his movie. Photographs by William Friedkin.

Thomas Heatherwick may be the world's hottest designer, sought after by legacy-minded tycoons and politicians in London (the Garden Bridge), Silicon Valley (Google's HQ), New York (Pier 55), and beyond.
