...Well, it's been interesting for me. You would think that as other magazines started to explore some of that, it might hurt us. But we are by far the newsstand leader now, in a bigger way than we've ever been. Our nearest competitor, Glamour, is now over a million copies less than us on the newsstand. Maybe it's just because it's so much part of our mission. Sometimes when you try to do something that really falls into somebody else's territory, it's very hard for them...
...bribe. Bigger smile. The portsman accepted the euros from our captain, and I was permitted to jump from the deck of our yacht onto the golden shores of Monte Carlo.

...terrorists goad it into overreacting. In recent years, White says, authoritarian governments in the region became convinced that "if you loosen up, you're in trouble."

Western intelligence services fear that more are on the way and will pose a bigger danger than the returnees from Afghanistan in the 1980s and '90s, the global jihad's first generation of terrorists. The anxiety is justified; the fighters in Iraq are, as the CIA has observed, getting better on-the-job training than was available in al-Qaeda's camps in Afghanistan...
...attracted Wall Street's admiring eye. In Hollywood, it's said you're only one hit away from success. DreamWorks has high hopes for Bee Movie, with Jerry Seinfeld, and Shrek 3, both due out in 2007. But by then, Fox, Sony and Disney all plan to be bigger computer-animation players. With so much clutter, DreamWorks' dream may be deferred again...
