...drape a multilateralist cloak over what many have charged is a U.S.-driven obsession with ousting Saddam. A U.N. stamp of approval would also make it easier for the U.S. to ask for the U.N.'s help in rebuilding Iraq after the war. And the various issues that will clamor for the world's attention after Iraq--from North Korea to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict--could grow into far more dangerous crises if the U.S. and its allies can't figure out a way to put behind them the differences that emerged over Iraq...
...Frasier_ fans make websites. "Transfans" inhabit a shadowy world of newsgroups, webpages, chat rooms, internet relays, and (illegal) episode downloads. They hold conventions and publish newsletters, clamor for exclusive toys and get them. Like veteran antiquers, they boast of their latest finds and newest acquisitions to any who will listen. A used Fortress Maximus fetches $500, a gold-plated Optimus Prime, $3000. Three months ago, a seller on Ebay offered an almost complete mint collection of the original run. The asking price?

In a Washington speech on Dec. 4, Richard Haass, director of policy planning in the State Department, noted "a widespread popular clamor for reform" in Iran, "which will hopefully result in greater democracy and greater openness." But the Administration has never spelled out the extent to which it supports the reformers in Iran, much less said how it might help them. It should do so now. --With reporting by Massimo Calabresi/Washington, Matthew Forney/Beijing, J.F.O. McAllister/London, Donald Macintyre/Seoul and Azadeh...
...Woody Allen who used a red light bulb as a sexual expedient in Annie Hall?). On the far wall hang paintings of frolicking figures in prurient postures, Matissean dancers in revelry. Overhead, Starck-sleek fans of brushed steel revolve with drawing-room languor, conspicuously at odds with the clamor and chatter below. And diffusing throughout the room, holding the whole tenuously cohesive mess together, there is slinky drum-and-bass music to vegetate...
