...children, by virtue of their father's foreign-service career, got to explore other cultures and acquire early on a commitment to serious public service. His detractors tell the story of an effete snob who "looks French" and can't possibly understand the concerns of average Americans. An ad by the conservative group Citizens United mocked Kerry for his $75 haircuts and million-dollar yacht and closed on this note: "Another rich, liberal elitist from Massachusetts who claims he's a 'man of the people' ... Priceless...
...Adami and his team of transplanted South Africans have defied the skeptics by starting a remarkable turnaround at Miller. Over the past decade and a half, the company had been neglected, treated as an afterthought by its parent, food and tobacco giant Philip Morris. But thanks to an irreverent ad blitz that has presented Miller as a fresh alternative to the self-anointed "king of beers," Miller has drawn its rival into an unusually bitter media war and almost overnight "given itself a new identity," as beverage consultant Tom Pirko puts it.

One is directed by Rob Reiner and written by West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin. Another is directed by indie-film veteran Allison Anders...
...American values." So for now, they'd just as soon avoid the issue of the war (which both supported) and let others carry the attack against Bush. Michael Moore is happy to offer his services. Fahrenheit 9/11, his new Bush-bashing movie, has generated more heat than any attack ad the Democrats could possibly dream up. In effect, the provocateur has become an uninvited (but not altogether unwelcome) Democratic operative, and his documentary can be thought of as an independent, uncoordinated expenditure on behalf of the Kerry-Edwards campaign. Moore wasn't anywhere near Kerry and Edwards last week...
