The Chinese government's official advisor to MGM, who said that her odor in China was "very bad ... whenever she appears in a movie, the newspapers print her picture with the caption 'Anna May again loses face for China.'"

But it will usher in a season of opaque horse-trading among Iraq's new political class, while those who overcame their fears to express their hopes at the ballot box anxiously await results. And the wildcard elements outside the Assembly - from the insurgency whose planners are no doubt simply waiting for the election-weekend ban on all vehicle traffic to be lifted in order to launch a new wave of car bombings, to the radical Shiite populist Moqtada Sadr who kept...
