...Whatever their intention, the "leaks" have created a climate in which an Iraq war has become something of an inevitability. The impression of Bush administration resolve - despite repeated insistence that the President has taken no decisions yet - could cow congressional fence-sitters and even Saddam's reluctant neighbors to make common cause with Washington. Despite their loud objections to military action, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Turkey and Iran have a huge incentive to influence the nature of any post-Saddam regime. But they're issuing increasingly shrill warnings against a U.S. attack while the Israeli-Palestinian conflict remains dangerously volatile...
...they fail to grasp what Bycko says are "obvious" similarities between Warhol's prints and local eastern Orthodox church icons, or don't connect Warhol's famously reclusive personality with the ways of the suspicious natives.

It's that more and more Americans, particularly young Americans, have started engaging in a practice that would once have shocked their parents. They are eating their vegetables. Also their grains and sprouts. Some 10 million Americans today consider themselves...
...world the obvious synergies between the mouse and fast food. The other interpretation is Messier as Tartuffe: after rapidly scaling a summit too high for him, Messier was blown away by the lofty winds - revealing just how lightweight he actually was and casting him back to the cow pastures he never should have left in the first place. Either way, I still bought Vivendi shares at ?140. What a jerk. I am ruined and shamed, but in certain ways I came away richer for having learned: • That Messier had a problem with time management.
