There is no doubt, at least, that Kerry gave Clinton a look. Bob Shrum, Kerry's all-around strategist in that cycle, wrote about a brief consideration of Clinton in his book but said later that the Kerry team discarded the idea because her negatives were too high to bear...
...very likely to find a penguin on Mars - or a seal or a puffin or a polar bear either. But that doesn't mean there aren't interesting things going on in the planet's polar regions. Life requires water, after all, and water - at least in the form of ice - is found in abundance at the poles. That's why the Mars Phoenix lander is en route to pay a call there, with a first ever touchdown in the Martian Arctic set for this Sunday...
...mega-projects across Alberta's oil sands rival some of humankind's greatest engineering achievements, including the pyramids of Giza and the Great Wall of China. After thousands of years, those ancient projects still bear witness to history. Conservative estimates predict the tar sands will give out in just 70 years. Their legacy to Canada is yet to be written, but it may be a great deal bigger than expectations. With new deposits still being found and technologies improving, the sands could produce for a couple of hundred years more. Forget Venezuela. Canada may become the new Saudi Arabia...

None of them, not Letizia's teddy bear of a divorced-but-dating father, nor her firebrand of a grandmother, nor even her tragic youngest sister Erika, who killed herself in February 2007, got as much attention as Telma. Young, pretty, apparently good-hearted (she works for the Red Cross) and best of all unattached, Telma made perfect fodder for what the Spanish call...

The Golden Compass was middling-good, with a beguiling central performance by 13-year-old Dakota Blue Richards, a slinky turn by Nicole Kidman as an evil-stepmom type and a nifty polar-bear fight. But the film never cohered, and at the end it trailed off into a preview of the two sequels that now don't look as if they'll be made. The first Narnia movie was middling-bad, its four lead child actors displaying little charm, their world holding lesser...
