...something else about Katrina bound Clinton and Bush even tighter: both men had deep emotional ties to the Gulf Coast. Bush made his fortune in oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico during the 1950s, when offshore drilling was still considered risky. And it was in the now infamous New Orleans Superdome that he snared the G.O.P. nomination in 1988 and spoke of a "kinder, gentler" nation. To Clinton, New Orleans was also promised land: his mother worked at the city's Charity Hospital while he was being raised by his grandparents in Arkansas, and it was to Louisiana...

Nie's musical is set in a Chinese circus, which allows Chan to use acrobats, contortionists, fire-breathers, trapeze artists, clowns and dwarves to liven up the dance numbers. But the musical inside the movie is just...
...maintenance of a fragile coalition with her own Christian Democrats and the Social Democrats - both of which are undergoing painful internal shakedowns. Hosting Chirac in Berlin last week, she aligned Germany with France in criticizing Britain's budget proposals. But Chirac knows that she may not feel bound to knuckle under to France in defending agricultural subsidies the way her predecessor did. HAPLESS BARROSO Even before former Portuguese Prime Minister José Manuel Barroso became Commission President in November 2004, he was a controversial choice. His liberal politics, and his presence in George W. Bush's "New Europe" coalition...
