...state. The stone throwers are often photographed in action, yet little is known about them. On a recent afternoon, however, I actually met several. There was Amir, a reedy 17-year-old who sneaks out to the protests without telling his parents; Asif, a muscular 24-year-old rickshaw driver; and Muddasar, 20, with soft blue eyes and a dark red bullet wound in his left shin. Their de facto leader is Imran Zargar, 24, who spent 11/2 years in jail after one ugly clash. His police record then disqualified him from any job with the government, by far Kashmir...

Since then, every time I visited D.C.--even after I started going to tuxedo galas and $200-a-plate dinners--I'd go get three half-smokes with mustard and raw onions, thank you very much. One day, my driver returned with the same amount of money I had given him. He told me Ben and his wife Virginia (below) had refused to let him pay. They told him, "Bill Cosby eats for free."

In between dropping her children off at school and uploading her musings to her blog, “The Bjorn Identity,” she grapples with her workaholic husband (Anthony Edwards) and her pregnant, sex-deprived best friend (Minnie Driver). She may be grouchy and stretched thin, but she is stubborn and passionate, and she can pull off long, old-maid dresses better than anyone except perhaps a pregnant Heidi Klum. Dieckmann is wise to lend the character both autonomous ambitions and myriad whims; Eliza comes to represent every mother...

...snow-filled streets away, Milan Bezucha, a 53-year-old ambulance driver, isn't afraid he'll lose his 1905 Art Nouveau villa to the descendants of the original German owners without the Lisbon Treaty exemption. But he still agrees with Klaus, who is seen by many as being more empathetic to the concerns of ordinary Czechs than his chief critic, former President Vaclav Havel.

...normal viewership and around half of the total TV audience for the 10:35 p.m. slot. They were drawn like moths by a fiery controversy over the BBC's decision to invite Nick Griffin, the leader of the extremist British National Party, to join the debate. The taxi driver was determined to share his opinions on the matter, no matter that his passenger was dreamily communing with her iPod. "I'm not a BNP supporter," bellowed the cabbie, craning round to make sure he had my full attention. "But at least the BNP talks about what's wrong with this...
