It’s a made-for-television moment, literally. Since the Woman of the Year award’s earliest years, the double-kiss shot has served as the Hasty Pudding’s unofficial icon. In the center, the celebrity, an entertainer whose living depends upon her ability to perform. On either side, two lucky undergraduates dressed in drag, a sham imitation. The shot juxtaposes beauty and the parody of beauty, the academic and celebrity worlds, the fake and the real...
Among the earliest to start dialing around: Wesley Clark, who entered the '04 race just a few months before the first primary but quickly stumbled with a flip-flop on how he would have voted on Congress's Iraq-war resolution.

...refugees are still using rivers for washing their dishes and bathing--a recipe for cholera and typhoid. As the advance teams uncover unsanitary conditions in the camps, they report them to MSF water and sanitation units working in the area. "We work until midnight every day at the earliest, but we're always running behind," says Moens. "We just don't have the time or people to be everywhere...
