Both difficulties seem to disappear when her friend Darcy (Illeana Douglas) hits on the solution of inventing a fiance for her from a photo of some guy (Jay Mohr) she met from a friend's wedding. Kate promptly lands her man and the promotion--until her "fiance" unexpectedly gains local celebrity for saving a child's life, such that Kate's boss wants to see him at the next meeting with the colleagues. Kate succeeds in contacting the man in the picture, Nick, and persuades him to pose as her betrothed. Smitten Nick's a little too happy to oblige...
Here's a new trick DAVID COPPERFIELD's learning: if you can't make something disappear, sue the people who created it. Paris Match says Copperfield's long engagement to CLAUDIA SCHIFFER is an illusion--something millions of males would dearly love to believe.

...Beijing's intentions were good--and they're not--its authoritarian habits and dictatorial rule will not tolerate Hong Kong's freedoms for long.

She is half Seneca Indian and half Irish American, and her useful talent is to function as a very unofficial one-woman witness-relocation program, helping people disappear into new identities when the forces of evil are about to pounce. She thinks of herself as "a guide," and she most often guides with brainpower, computer savvy, a delightfully devious nature and a library of false identities, fleshed out with features like credit histories, that she has built...
WASHINGTON, D.C.: Joe Camel and the Marlboro Man will disappear from billboards, and by 2009, the FDA may ban nicotine altogether under a landmark, multibillion dollar settlement that will impose unprecedented regulations on America's tobacco industry. Under the agreement, tobacco companies will pay out $360 billion over 25 years into a settlement fund to finance public health campaigns and anti-smoking advertising, while disbursing $4 billion a year into a fund to pay damages in successful lawsuits brought by smokers. "We wanted to do something that would punish this industry for its past misconduct and we have done that...
