...John Tower for Secretary of Defense, McCain lashed out at the Alabama Senator, saying Shelby would "pay for it." McCain says he'd do it again today, charging that Shelby lied to him about supporting the former Texas Senator for the post. McCain clashed with former Navy Secretary John Dalton when Dalton held up for review the promotion of Commander Bob Stumpf, a former leader of the Blue Angels and decorated Gulf War pilot who played a minor role in the Tailhook scandal and whom McCain supported. When Stumpf withdrew his name, McCain called the Secretary at his office...

Lavish spectacle, a Dynasty-style version of Cleopatra's romances with Julius Caesar and Marc Antony, and just about zero chemistry between Leonor Varela's Cleopatra and Billy Zane's Antony. Zane (Titanic) makes a stalwart Roman general (and so does Timothy Dalton as Caesar), but pretty, pouty Varela lacks utterly the "infinite variety" that Shakespeare attributed to history's most famous vamp...

Marcelo Salaises, 30, misses Mexico but says the living is good in Dalton. On $10.60 an hour with benefits and profit sharing at Durkan Patterned Carpet, where he's in quality control, he and his wife bought a nice three-bedroom house for $49,000. And Thomas Durkan III, he says, orchestrated the donation of private land and helped raise $1 million for the construction of a soccer complex used primarily by Mexican families...
