Colonel Sanders, the goateed (and quite dead) Southern gentleman who is KFC's founder and marketing icon, rules the country's fast-food roost.

For another, Lieberman's belief that removing Saddam Hussein would start a benign chain of events in the region seems imprudent now, given the deteriorating situation on the ground in Iraq. But there's something else about Lieberman--a sweet, soft, caramel quality--that makes him an unlikely firebrand. Even when he attacks his opponents, as he has done quite effectively in debates, he does...
