...tackle dark humor. And it’s oddly fitting that Thornton would be teaching a class on masculinity—while he may not have Brad Pitt’s looks, let’s not forget that he was banging Angelina Jolie for a few years. His curt response to Roger about pursuing Amanda is even a possible jab at his former wife—“it’s not like you were getting ready to adopt a Chinese baby together.” And this is just one of the numerous examples that exemplify...

Weldon has been associated with some questionable lobbying schemes: both his daughter Karen and his real estate...
...Castano's message to me was curt: get on a plane to a town across the gulf from Panama, and someone will meet you. Sure enough, a photographer and I landed on an airstrip cut in a cane field, and a very muscular Colombian escorted us to his four-wheel drive vehicle. There was another passenger: a glamorous woman whose arms were so laden with gold and emerald jewelry she could barely lift them. She was silent the entire journey, pensively tracing raindrops on the car window with her red lacquered fingernails...
