...Hillary Clinton, by contrast, never insisted on any such promise from her political guru, Mark Penn. Indeed, the potential for conflict only increased when - as Clinton was launching her Senate reelection campaign in 2005, in a test run for a potential presidential bid in 2008 - Penn was named worldwide CEO of Burson-Marsteller, one of the largest firms in the world of public relations, a field in which Washington advocacy has been playing a bigger and bigger role. Last year, Bloomberg News reported that Penn's private blog for his Burson-Marsteller colleagues included an entry titled: "Workin With Hillary...
...made easier work of Cornell (5-10. 0-2) on Friday than the 4-3 outcome indicates, thanks to a dominant doubles lineup and strong play at the top of the singles lineup.

Der Rote Baron, by contrast, portrays its combatant hero in a positive light. "It's a remarkable movie," the Baron's nephew, Manfred von Richthofen, told Die Welt this week. "Somehow it did not turn into a war film. The personality and especially the thoughtfulness of my uncle are true to life...
...sharp contrast to NATO's Riga summit in 2006. "The tone of the discussion is a lot lighter now than it was two years ago," says a NATO official. "Then the whole thing appeared to hang by a thread." In the Latvian capital, tensions ran high over the inequitable commitments of NATO members to military operations in Afghanistan - what the countries with sizable troop deployments in dangerous areas refer to as "burden sharing."
