...called "Belgian envelope paper." She is a delightfully luminous presence. Maybe it's her accent. Her voice has a musical lilt, and her statements often end with an upward lift, as if she were asking a question. Then again, maybe her otherworldliness has something to do with Iceland. Her ex-husband is named Thor (her current boyfriend, a British songwriter and performer, is named Tricky). She says Icelanders, partly because they live in a spacious, underpopulated country, are more attuned to nature and spirituality. She also admits, however, that "Icelandic people think I'm strange...

Fans of the show watch them to feel better about their own lives, not to decide political stances...
...possible mistrial in theSusan Smithmurder trial was thrown out by Circuit Judge William Howard, who ruled that an accidental contact between a juror and a member of the Smith family--apparently in a hotel laundry room--was of no importance. Sara Singleton, grandmother of Susan Smith's ex-husband, said "it was innocent. . . it was stupid," in comments that seemed to confirm she was the family member in question. The sentencing phase of the trial, which began today, could last up to a week. Smith was found guilty of two counts of murder last Saturday...
