...ground for President Bush, and some of his more hawkish advisers have made no secret of their disdain for the idea. Vice President Cheney warned this week that Saddam has mastered the art of confounding the inspection regime, and argued that renewed U.N. inspections could create a dangerous "false comfort" over Iraq's weapons programs. But Secretary of State Colin Powell has been a strong advocate of demanding that Iraq submit to renewed inspections, along with such key international allies as Britain's prime minister Tony Blair. President Bush's comments after meeting congressional leaders in Washington on Wednesday suggest...
...even if their government doesn't want them to. The Kinokuniya Bookstore in central Tokyo stocks dozens of books on Japan's war guilt; a few years ago it sold only a handful. Confessional memoirs of veterans (What We Did in China; Nanking Massacre and the Imperial Army; and Comfort Women from the Eyes of a Korean Female) sit side by side with revisionist histories and studies that flatly deny such massacres ever took place (How the Nanking Massacre Was Concocted; Korean Colonization: No Reason to Apologize; and The Nonexistence of Sexual Slavery).

Friends, NBC's impeccably prepared weekly meal of comfort food, seemed to be rediscovered by audiences after Sept. 11, and what they found was Aniston's Rachel, pregnant and torn between two suitors; in the cliff-hanger season finale, she gave birth. Soon thereafter, Aniston scored an Emmy nomination. She has been likened to Mary Tyler Moore, who as Mary Richards created...
...even the most bizarre option out there. "Where else can you find 25 guys who have had background and medical checks?" asks Bachelorette's Rehn. Today's dating shows may make love and romance look phony at best, vicious at worst. But isn't that a kind of comfort? After all, if you're on the couch watching somebody go on a date, there's one near certain explanation for it. You're not on one yourself. --With reporting by Jeffrey Ressner/Los Angeles
