...people in their secret heart--combine those traits with a keen grasp of the political game and obsessive attention to detail, and channel it all toward getting everyone, from world leaders to music lovers, to engage with something overwhelming in its complexity. Although it's tempting for some to cast his global road show as the vanity project of a pampered celebrity, the fact is that Bono gets results. At Gleneagles--where Bono and his policy-and-advocacy body, DATA, met with five of the eight heads of state at the summit--the G-8 approved an unprecedented $50 billion...

...some West Side Story choreography, has scared everyone off the streets-everyone except the harder-than-jade residents of Pig Sty Alley, who help turn a mobster wannabe (Chow) into a Bruce Lee gotta-be. Chow wanted to explore and update the antique styles of kung fu, so he cast veterans of 70s Hong Kong action pics, among them Yuen Qiu (who?s a hoot as the Alley?s bullying landlady), Chan?s boyhood schoolmate Yuen Wah (as the henpecked landlord) and Bruce Leung (as the mild-mannered ultimate warrior, the Beast). But though Chow the actor doesn?t take...

If you missed the first season, the second is just getting started. As model/host Heidi Klum would say, this show...

...urbans comedy what Everybody Loves Raymond did for the bickering-in-laws genre: proves that originality isn't everything. The gimmicky hook--narrator looks back on his courtship from 25 years in the future--is a distraction; what stands out is the crackling dialogue and rapport among the ensemble cast. (When Neal Patrick Harris isn't slipping the show into his tailored breast pocket, Jason Segel and Alyson Hannigan are so cute you could sprinkle powdered sugar on them and pop them in your mouth.) Mother feels like it's been on for years, and I mean that...

...approved for coverage by the media. At polling station number 10, located inside a low-slung primary school, there were more reporters than voters. Journalists captured images of the orderly lines and jostled to photograph the royalist candidate, Sherif Ali, as he arrived with a large armed escort to cast his vote. Security was tight, and every voter was patted down before approaching the ballot boxes. But voters seemed happy about the precautions. "All my neighbors are going to vote," said Salim, a 22-year-old student in line at the school. He said he had felt safe walking...
