...with Nathaniel Rothschild, scion of the eponymous banking dynasty, and Rothschild's friend and business associate Oleg Deripaska, a reclusive oligarch routinely described as Russia's wealthiest man, took place aboard Deripaska's super-yacht and in other opulent Adriatic locations over a long weekend in August. Throw in cameo appearances by Rupert Murdoch and his daughter Elisabeth, and the Corfu capers are proving the perfect distraction from Britain's credit crunch woes. A month ago Labour and the Conservatives pledged cross-party cooperation to shield Brits from the economic crisis, but nobody ever imagined it would take this form...
...These days the former Manchester United star rates only the occasional cameo appearance as a substitute, with his starter berth given over to the fleet-footed teenager Theo Walcott. Beckham's past glory - and maritial status as a Spice Dude - notwithstandiing, England coach Fabio Capello has made clear that reputation counts for nothing in his selections; he warns he'll only pick players at the top of their game, testing their skills week in and week out in the world's strongest league. Remaining in Los Angeles would leave Beckham unlikely to make the cut for England...
Bartlet gamely keeps up, although his own absurd attempts at Paris-isms ("Peace All!") abetted by a cameo from Fake First Son Charlie Harper are horrific.

But maybe that's just compared to her makeup...
...accomplishment, the three-man mission had a 1960s twang. During his 13-minute sortie outside the Shenzhou VII capsule, Zhai Zhigang demonstrated the effectiveness of a Chinese spacesuit, retrieved a rack attached to the outside of the capsule that was part of a lubricants test, had a "Greetings, earthlings" cameo (Zhai's actual words: "Greetings to all the people of the nation and all the people of the world") and brandished a Chinese flag...
...neighborhood's fantastic cafés, like the basement-level Grai Kotturinn (the Gray Cat) or Mokka, where the grease shadows of decades of visitors mark the old wood-paneled walls. If it's a weekend, stop by Kolaportid, the old flea market that also makes a cameo in 101, where merchants from outside the city go to gossip over coffee and doughnuts and sell their wares. There aren't a lot of places in the world where you can buy guillemot eggs, whale, vinyl records and old Icelandic textbooks under the same roof. By the time...
