...Austin, Texas, the Bush team is starting to notice. "He is the one we worry most about," says a Granite State adviser to the campaign. That used to be the position occupied by Forbes, but the multimillionaire publisher has not managed in over a year to close his nearly 20-point deficit with Bush in the key state of Iowa. The Texas Governor's campaign staff is worried that any damage Forbes may do through his planned negative ads will not help Forbes, but will turn voters to McCain.

...sequel to the soundtrack for a sequel? The Austin Powers cash cow seems just about ready to kick the milking stool. Fortunately, More Music from Austin Powers 2 tries to avoid the charge of merely trying to cash in by including snippets of dialogue and a fair number of movie-relevant songs (They Might Be Giants' "Dr Evil").

He composed the poems and thoughts in Kiss of God: The Wisdom of a Silent Child by tapping on a primitive letter board. Ball's tenaciously loving parents read him literature and played him music from the time he was still an infant...
