Abdul Rashid Dostum, the thuggish Afghan warlord, would not seem a likely student of Abraham Lincoln. But there he was, echoing the Gettysburg Address as he spoke recently to a large political gathering in northern Afganistan. His speech was a booming appeal for a future that offered Afghans "government by the people, for the people." To accompany his new rhetoric, Dostum also has a new look. The powerfully built Uzbek general has shaved his beard--his thick trademark moustache remains--bought some new neckties and found a good tailor...
...monster/ 'Cause nobody wants to see Marshall no more/ They want Shady/ I'm chopped liver." Once summoned, Shady delivers the funniest diatribe in recent rap history. Over an upbeat snare reminiscent of Billie Jean and a woolly sax torn from the Coasters' playbook, Shady sums up his appeal: "Little hellions/ Kids feeling rebellious/ Embarrassed their parents still listen to Elvis/ They start feeling like prisoners, helpless." He says this at top speed with the clarity of Henry Higgins, over music that makes you want to get up and dance. In the Without Me video, he does a jig dressed...
...issues on which he campaigned: security, sweeping tax reductions and business-friendly economic reform. To prevent that, Chirac's allies may be tempted to think the unthinkable: cut a deal with the far right.

...seem to close his mouth-say konichiwa to Domo-kun! He began life as an innocent, bumbling monster in a series of ads for a Japanese TV network, but Domo-kun has transcended those humble origins to become a cult icon in Japan and America. What's the appeal? With his vicious fangs and sad button eyes, Domo-kun is tough, yet vulnerable. Kind of like Harrison Ford, if Harrison Ford were a small, feral Teletubby. Domo-kun dolls are growing in popular-ity in Japan and there have been several Domo-kun sightings in the U.S. You can catch...
