...gentleman under suspicion is Peter Lyman (Hugh Jackman), a moneyed chap who is polite to the point of blandness--the white bread of the English upper crust. Through a device too silly to be mentioned here, he comes to the attention of Sondra Pransky (Johansson), an American college student abroad.

PRINCE CHARLES and the former Camilla Parker Bowles will dine at the White House, take in the World Trade Center site and tour organic farms in California. Charles is hoping the visit will boost tourism to Britain and earn him attention for something besides his romantic life, like his recent work on global warming. "The most important thing is to remain relevant," Charles told 60 Minutes...
