...filmmakers write roles specifically for them. In 2000, newbie director Rod Lurie wrote The Contender for Allen. She got to become Vice President in that film. She also got to know Mike Binder (he played her communications director), who wrote a romance for her, The Upside of Anger, due out in December. Her love interest is Kevin Costner, who at 49 is only two years her senior. It's almost inappropriate...

I was expecting a relaxed evening of hamburgers, hotdogs and small talk about crew in all of its obsessive glory. What I instead got was a rather harsh lesson about the amount of bitterness, anger and envy that word “Harvard” can conjure up, and a jolting reminder that people, even very smart well educated people, are often totally irrational...

In a 1990 essay, Princeton historian Bernard Lewis wrote that Muslim anger against the West "is no less than...
...would be wrong. Within minutes after losing the Senate vote, they were preparing to introduce a similar measure into the House, knowing full well that there is no hope of passage. But success at this juncture is not important. In fact, failure helps entrench the sense of alienation and anger that is already being stoked for political ends. The members of the religious right have therefore achieved what they set out to achieve. They have used this issue to galvanize parts of the evangelical base, just as President Bush's political mastermind, Karl Rove, intended. They have identified Republican Senators...
