...more than half a century after he left his native Iowa, Pusey's speech is still folksy. Joe McCarthy was "a damn foolish" fellow who turned many a "name into mud." But Pusey is a city cat too. As he talks about the places where he has worked over the years, he instinctively provides their street address and cross streets, as a New Yorker would...
Since then, Castano, who wears camouflage fatigues and moves with the predatory restlessness of a jungle cat, has been stalking the two chief rebel groups: the 16,000-strong Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the smaller but no less virulent National Liberation Army (ELN), which has 5,000 fighters.

Before Universal's recent acquisition of The Cat in the Hat, it foundered under Steven Spielberg at DreamWorks, despite the efforts of Oscar-winning screenwriter Eric Roth (Forrest Gump), who spent nearly a year composing a screenplay in rhyme. Seussical, the $10 million musical pastiche of several Seuss stories narrated by Seuss's Cat, has also had its share of bumps on the way to Broadway. Key members of the creative...
