COVER STORY―Pax's New Life  

By Michelle Tauber and Mary Green  

The actress and 3-year-old Pax Thien Jolie, whom she adopted last week from an orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City, left Hanoi's Noi Bai Airport in a private jet on Wednesday, bound for home―and, for Pax, a new life in the U.S.
    Jolie, 31, understands the challenges her new son will face as the latest addition to the world's most famous multicultural family. "You can imagine what courage it takes to be in all new surroundings, with new people and a new language," she tells PEOPLE in its new issue. "He is very strong." But she is committed to making his transition as smooth as possible. "It will take him a while to realize he has a family," she says, "and that his new life is permanent and that it won't keep changing."
    The boy with the sweetly shy smile and the big brown eyes joins big brother Maddox, 5 (adopted from Cambodia), sister Zahara, 2 (adopted from Ethiopia) and 10-month-old Shiloh, the daughter born to Jolie and Brad Pitt, 43, in May.
    As for Dad, because Vietnamese regulations don't allow unmarried couples to co-adopt, Jolie adopted Pax as a single parent while Pitt remained in Los Angeles, where he is filming The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. "He has specific days on the movie that couldn't be changed or production would run over," says his rep.
    But Jolie still made sure to bring a welcoming committee: Joined by Maddox and Zahara Shiloh has been on the Button set every day with her father―the new mom used her first few days with Pax to begin gently bonding with him and to ask her other kids to do the same.
   "We are slowly beginning to build his trust and bond," Jolie says, "but it will feel complete only when we are all together."
For exclusive photos plus details on Angelina and Pax's first moments together, what Pax's life was like at the orphanage and more pick up this week's PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday.

If you love your husband, leave him alone. And if you think you are attractive, don't say it.  

This is what Jane Lin did for her husband Ang Lee, who last week became the first Asian to have  41  the best director Oscar award for his love movie "Brokeback Mountain."  

Ang Lee was  42  upon graduation with a master's degree in film production from New York University in 1984. He had to stay at home as a  43  husband until 1990.  

Jane did not for once think of leaving him,  44  would many modern girls who are  45 to play with rich directors and abandon them once they're  46  on their luck.  

47  despair surrounded her now and then, Jane  48  Ang and believed he was cut out to be a genius  49  - only his time had not yet  50 .  For six years, Ang was supported  51  by Jane, who earned a meager salary as a microbiologist in the United States.  

At one time, Ang wanted to  52  computer science so as to find a job quickly, but Jane  53 . She simply would not let her poor but  54  husband go out and find just any old job.  

In  55  six years, Ang wrote many screenplays and at the same time became a great cook.  

Ang has said time and  56  that he would never have  57  without Jane's love and trust.  

But  58  an Associated Press story released on Wednesday, Jane said  59 : "I did not support him, I just left him alone."  

The Associated Press quoted Taiwanese producer Huang Yi-kung, who produced Ang's famed Chinese-language movies - "The Wedding Banquet" in 1993 and "Eat Drink Man Woman" in 1994 ―as saying that Ang's thanks to Jane and memories of past  60  were never superficial.
