...Sharon Scranage, a 29-year-old CIA operations support assistant in Ghana, pleaded guilty to two counts of violating the act after revealing the identities of two agents to her boyfriend, a cousin of Ghana's military ruler. After her arrest, Scranage cooperated with authorities, helped in the preparation of a harm-assessment report and told the court, "I'm very sorry for all the damage I've done." She was sentenced to five years in prison and ended up serving 18 months. Scranage's boyfriend, who had come to the U.S., was given a 20-year sentence for receiving...
...daughters. But there are a few snags: Jeremy has a “stage five clinger” named Gloria (Isla Fisher), psychopathic and newly devirginalized (by him); and John makes a connection with Claire (Rachel McAdams), which is complicated by the arrival of her uber-preppy, uber-delusional boyfriend Sack (Bradley Cooper). But what waits at the end of the rainbow is the inevitable, magical, golden love for both of the crashers…Or does it? Yes, yes it does...

It glamorizes the men's predation by making them charmers who have a great time, and give one too: at receptions Jeremy makes balloon animals for the kids, John schmoozes with the seniors. It conjures up a convenient villain in Claire's boyfriend Sach (Bradley Cooper), a shark-faced sociopath who fools everyone in the family but no one in the audience. It offers the dream of creative fraudulence and the payoff of a frog kissing a princess, if he can only find the right mix of lies and lust. And in the performances...
Kylleen Hargrave-Thomas, 53, has always claimed her innocence in the brutal stabbing murder of her boyfriend 14 years ago. In 2002, U.S. District Judge Paul Gadola overturned her conviction, saying her trial lawyers had been "manifestly and flagrantly ineffective." She was released, but last year a federal appeals court reversed the ruling. In April, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to take her case. Next week a judge will decide whether to revoke her bond. Unless Granholm intervenes to grant clemency, Hargrave-Thomas will probably go back to serving a life sentence...
