...Anne Hathaway Age: 24 Spiritual Mother: Audrey Hepburn Screen Cred: From The Princess Diaries to The Devil Wears Prada, Hathaway has steadily built her good-girl resume. But for the right pic - Brokeback Mountain - Hathaway took a walk on the R-rated side and took off her top. New projects: She plays Jane Austen in the August biopic of the novelist Becoming Jane. "Anne came back from her day off and she announced that she had just reread Mansfield Park," says Jarrolds. Good girl factoid: For fun she goes antiquing...
...mania surrounding Princess Diana has calmed since she died. The industry that was built from it, though, is still going strong - a steady heartbeat of Dianabilia that keeps the princess's memory alive as long as people keep reaching into their pockets. The queen of cultural icons, Diana is one of a handful of superstars who can still shift the merchandise long after they're gone.

And Democrats will need all the help they can get to hold on to the governor's office later this year, as well as the Senate seat held by Mary Landrieu. Landrieu, who will run for a third term in 2008, is considered one of the party's most...
...potholes, drains and sewers. The abundance of garbage on Baghdad's streets can defeat devices meant to locate bombs in relatively uncluttered locales. A discarded refrigerator on the curb could be packed with explosives. Every parked car is potentially a vehicle-borne IED (military jargon for a car bomb). Built-up areas also offer hiding places for those who plant the explosives and set them off. Abdallah says he has been asked to make trigger devices that work from as close as 75 feet away...
