...clients like Gwyneth Paltrow and Tom Cruise, found such a client last week in robust LARA CROFT, the fictional heroine of the Tomb Raider video-game series, played by Angelina Jolie in last summer's blockbuster film Lara Croft Tomb Raider. An explorer with formidable combat skills and a chest you could rest a Ming vase on, Croft could make money for her handlers through consumer-product tie-ins, publishing deals and television. Best of all, she'll never ask for a break from Hollywood to take one of those low-paying theater gigs. Gangs Take France...

"We will listen carefully to the complaints and, if there are any mistakes, we will improve," he says. "But maintaining human rights while trying to control terror...
...watches contentedly but nervously, bouncing from one foot to the other, his arms crossed tightly across his chest. Maybe it's showing new work to strangers. Maybe it's that the strangers are journalists. Last summer, the International Herald Tribune carried a story about him. He was circumspect, but following its publication, he received a number of inquiries from other news outlets. The story wasn't the problem; the publicity was. He was called in for an official visit to explain the article, line by line. He received another scolding after doing an interview on a Tokyo radio station...
