...Russian Federation as a global power. Russia’s prime minister, Vladimir Putin, has made restoring a close strategic relationship with Cuba a priority in Moscow. This alone should be more than enough evidence that the embargo is counterproductive. In 1962, the world watched with bated breath as Kennedy and Khrushchev faced off in the Caribbean, and many historians today recognize that the Cuban Missile Crisis was the closest that the world had ever come to nuclear holocaust...
Still, I took a deep breath and told Faulk about a scrappy, overachieving journalist who was given three days to put together a cover story about George Clooney - a man who had been covered in every way, from every possible angle. Every idea that the journalist came up with - like a poker game with Clooney's friends - the actor shot down.

"But in the very same breath we've just implemented a policy which will make it impossible for us to meet the target." Earlier this week, Greenpeace purchased a plot of land half the size of a soccer field on the proposed building site, which it says it won't sell in an effort to delay...

One Brit producer said the F word (in joy, not anger), an American director gave his winning star the finger, and The Office's Ricky Gervais provoked a collective intake of breath, rather than the laugh he was hoping for, when he said, "The trouble is, with Holocaust films there's never any gag reel on the DVDs." Virtually all the town's royalty - except, unaccountably, those two prime party animals, Jack Nicholson and George Clooney- had been summoned by the Hollywood...
