...watch on YouTube, and the rest of the video is filled with naughty behavior appropriate for “The Little Rascals.” This is why this music video fails as a rock video, although it makes a decent pop video: it fits all ages, showing a clean-cut singer-protagonist and a blonde TV star with a girl-next-door appeal. But the viewer is left feeling much like the girl in the video, waiting for satisfaction that DeGraw simply can’t deliver. Eventually, the video looks like a tribute to Aerosmith, only without...
...movies. Born in Sunrise, Minn., he got the theater bug at Illinois' Lake Forest College and stayed on to teach acting. From 1943 to 1946 he appeared in five Broadway plays, none lasting as long as four months, before coming to Hollywood.

The dead students were clean-cut, earnest boys who had believed in a religious expression of Zionism - that they had a right to the Biblical land of their forefathers - and were ardently prepared to defend their faith and land. Many seminarians are volunteers in Israel's combat regiments. In eulogies, they were hailed as "angels" and "the holiest of the holies...
Well, maybe: Ypsilanti severely wounded the CDU incumbent, Roland Koch, but she didn't quite surpass his vote tally. And the SPD fared poorly in Lower Saxony, where a clean-cut CDU candidate played to the center and the Left Party gnawed at the SPD's union base. But after 10 years in which German politics - and the SPD - remained largely in the political center, left-wing economic policies are winning votes again, marking a break with a decade of cautious reformism. That sets a new tone for elections in Hamburg and Bavaria later this year, as well...
