...that members of Congress took part in the sale. Priscilla Brown Cedar Falls, Iowa, U.S. I felt sick to my stomach when i read how Abramoff got the Coushatta Indians to trust him by suggesting that he knew the pain, loss and mistreatment of the tribe because of his birthright as an Orthodox Jew. And then the lobbyist scammed them for millions. I can tell you that Abramoff's actions in no way reflect the heritage, teachings, honor and dignity of the Jewish faith that I was raised in. Abramoff is a poseur, disgracing and shaming other Jews...

But when the oil embargo pinched the U.S. in 1973, high-speed, gas-gulping joyrides looked like something the nation could ill afford.

I Can't Drive Fifty-Five, a popular song by Sammy Ha-gar, has become the anthem of speeding scofflaws...
...Tullio Giordana's Once You're Born superbly did in its story of a boy lost at sea with a boatload of illegal immigrants - the critical consensus can be loud and derisive. (Literally: the film was booed.) For the fun and frissons that are supposed to be the movies' birthright you had to go back outside, to the lavish parties picturemakers throw for themselves. At one of these was Jackie Chan, who unabashedly loves being Jackie Chan. He was escorting the co-star of his new film The Myth, Bollywood sex goddess Mallika Sherawat, a young woman so gorgeous, curvaceous...
Stung and swallowing hard, Coca-Cola reclaimed its birthright last week. In the most spectacular about-face since Ford walked away from its ill-fated Edsel in 1959, the company bowed to public pressure. It declared that old Coke would be restored to groceries, fountains and vending machines within a few weeks. At the same time, the firm said it intended to have its soda and drink it too. Old Coke will return as Coca-Cola Classic. The new Coke that ignited the outrage will remain the flagship brand...
