...Arts review, "W.," misattributed a quotation to the character of Vice President Cheney, played by Richard Dreyfuss. In fact, the quote was from the character of Colin Powell, played by Jeffrey Wright...
...Colin Cotterill owes a lot to hepatitis. In 1990, as an aid worker for UNESCO, he was dispatched to Laos to develop a curriculum for English classes. It was a bit of a Sisyphean assignment, since all the English textbooks in the country were written in German, a language virtually no one in Laos understood.
