...President is standing face to face with NBC's Matt Lauer by the immaculate oak desk in the Oval Office, jabbing emphatically toward the Today anchorman's chest and insisting, "My job is to protect this country, Matt. And it gets second-guessed all the time by people who don't live in the United States." Lauer has interviewed Bush several times, and they have a convivial relationship, bonding about golf and bikes during breaks in the taping. But at the moment, Lauer is pressing the President on the legality of the CIA's secret detention program for accused terrorists...
...best known in the world for being Australian, Steve Irwin carried a burden. The action man's death on Sept. 4, after he was speared in the chest by a stingray's barb, has exposed his country's cringe-its tendency to seek foreign validation. The self-styled crocodile hunter made his mark elsewhere before anyone took notice of him in Australia; his khaki-costumed animal-adventure act and "Crikey!" cry were at first deemed over the top for local audiences.

...year-old as he was shooting a documentary segment on stingrays. Snorkeling on Batt Reef , a stretch of the Great Barrier Reef about 15km from Port Douglas in North Queensland, Irwin happened to swim over a large ray which, startled, whipped its barbed tail upwards into his chest.

...most restrained comment anyone involved in the dispute has so far uttered. After Brown was quoted in Discover magazine in January saying that Eckhardt was "thick as a plank," Eckhardt attended a scientific meeting in which he took off his shirt and had his wife measure his chest. "We were able to establish to the satisfaction of the audience of 300 people that I was in fact thicker than two short planks," he says. Brown also accused Teuku Jacob, the lead author of the PNAS paper and one of Indonesia's most respected anthropologists, of damaging the fossils while they...
