Like an increasing number of Republican governors, Cellucci also emphatically endorsed Bush for his party's presidential nomination. "He's really been what I would call a very inclusive governor," he said. "If the Republicans expect to win the White House next year, they need someone inclusive...
Even opposition activists have been shocked by the willingness of ordinary Serbs to demonstrate against Milosevic in the wake of the Kosovo debacle. On Monday 20,000 people ? almost one third of the town?s population ? took to the streets of Leskovac in response to a call sneaked into a basketball half-time show by a local TV technician.

He also repeated his campaign pledge to get Israeli forces out of Lebanon within...
...perfect synch. Just when you think you've seen the best sound-effects guy and the best mime ever teamed onstage, they switch roles. Fast, inventive, cheerfully crude and wittily self-aware (parodies of Star Wars and Marcel Marceau too), Thwak might be classified as performance art, but we call it pure theater and pure...
