JOHN MCCAIN'S BILL would protect interrogators from civil suits, would punish them only for grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions and would increase rights of appeal to the U.S. courts. It would preserve references to the Geneva Conventions in the War Crimes Act. The Arizona Senator and his co-sponsors, John Warner and Lindsey Graham, argue that if the U.S. interprets Geneva to its liking, other countries will too, endangering American troops if they are captured...
...Shut Up & Sing ricochets from the 2003 fracas to the 2005 recording of their new CD and up to this summer. It reveals the pressure on the group not only to keep their families together during the controversy but to come up with an album that will appeal to fans beyond their depleted core of country fans. The album did go to Number 1, the Chicks did make the cover of TIME , and instead of making the rounds of the Southern stations that wouldn?t play their stuff, they appeared on satellite radio with a clearly smitten Howard Stern...
John's and Mary's lives go down unintended paths. And when the 1960s hit, the era dances away one by one with their kids.

Another Neurosense study, for PHD Media, a media-buying agency, looked at which areas of the brain are most receptive to different media--TV, print and radio. PHD used the results to develop software it calls Neuroplanning, which better matches ads to media...
...Current events first. The polemical appeal of the converted kidnapee story sank considerably when Canon Andrew White, the Anglican vicar in Baghdad and a long-distance hostage negotiator in the case, told New Zealand?s National Radio that ?to be quite honest with you, [the conversion] was our suggestion.? That is, it had not been part of the kidnappers? program so much as a mechanism, suggested by a Christian cleric, to enable the abductors to save face in giving up their hostages. Now admittedly, they did go for it. But combined with the seemingly unanimous subsequent condemnation...
