...Animated by innocence (and helped by his God-given gangling, goggling looks), Nelson, 35, gives an artless, winning performance that doesn't betray his tough tastes. "I have a cold aesthetic," he says. "I don't like schmaltz." Busy and brainy (Laura Linney was a fellow student at Brown and Juilliard), he was editing his soon-to-be released "Othello" adaptation, "OH," while on the "O Brother" location. The down-home authenticity of his performance remains a mystery to producer and cowriter Ethan Coen. "He's a Jewish guy from Oklahoma, so go figure," Coen says bemusedly...
...which outwardly is not all that much. Bacon, Montaigne, Emerson and a few brave others who attempted to write essays on the subject failed to define friendship because, unlike romantic love, the emotion is generally undemonstrative; it is made up of the things we do not do--betray, belittle, be harsh.

And former Monty Python member Terry...
...million. But the key to Nader's clout is frustration on the left, especially when it comes to the globalization initiatives of Bill Clinton. Nader lashes out at the World Trade Organization and the recent passage of Permanent Normal Trade Relations with China. Such agreements, he charges, betray workers here and abroad by ignoring labor and environmental standards. Indeed, several Nader-founded groups helped lead last year's demonstrations against the WTO in Seattle...
...TIME: Do you feel betrayed by Zedillo? SALINAS: Zedillo did not betray me personally, he betrayed the platform that took him to the presidency. It all started with the peso devaluation in Dec 1994 when Zedillo's government provided inside information to a small group of Mexican businessmen that the devaluation was coming. And in a matter of hours, Mexico lost $6 billion -- half its total foreign exchange reserves...
