...paper, the Miami Herald. Last week, to emphasize his pique, Suarez phoned the Herald's advertising manager and left another warning on voice mail: "I note that we are subsidizing you and your newspaper with ads related to official notices of the city," Suarez growled. Echoing a bit of cold war lingo, he then urged the manager to "tell your maximum leader of the free world for the publishing company [translation: Herald president Joe Natoli] to be a lot nicer to me, my people, my citizens and my city." The state attorney is investigating the call, on the theory that...
...Viewed from the Iranian end of the telescope, Khatami was taking big risks just to sit down for what he billed as a message to "the great American people."

...John Glenn and his search for the ultimate wrinkle cure, CP wishes a safe return to a solid American. But it's a bit like a Foreman fight; you'd rather see him in his prime. So grab (as if CP had to tell you this one) The Right Stuff (1983). This way, you get Ed Harris in John Glenn's prime; he's a better actor. The cast is stacked (down to Jeff Goldblum and Harry Shearer in small parts), the film is luxuriantly long, and darn it if it don't make you want to finally learn...
