...himself of a wife merely by saying "I divorce thee" three times. The more moderate Islamic states apply Shari'a to family and religion but not to legal and state matters. Take beards, for example: in Afghanistan, members of the ruling Taliban militia will grasp a passerby's facial hair in their fist. If the beard is shorter than the Taliban's fist, the offender is publicly whipped. But next door in Iran, Shi'ite Muslims believe that according to the Koran, a beard can be a stubbly 1 cm long. Nawaz Sharif, whose chin is cherub-smooth, was asked...

...always, too, acted the public part of the presidency with ease and burly vanity. The other night on TV I saw a videotape of Clinton walking along the White House lawn, his hands clasped thoughtfully behind his back, his face a shaded mask of contemplation. In physical attitude and facial expression he looked exactly like the lovely White House portrait of President Kennedy. And you know what I am sure he was thinking as he walked by the cameras?

At the request of Rees-Jones' French attorney, investigating Judge Herve Stephan...

...real star of the first half of Slavs!. Popo brushes off the whining Rodent and barely sniffs when both Aleksii and Serge die right in front of him, and then runs off to...play his beloved girlfriend a love song on his guitar?!? O'Toole brings facial and vocal expression to hilarious limits, but without ever falling into the trap of acting crass or melodramatic. His sharply calm, no-nonsense voice melts faster than the Chernobyl reactor in the presence of his sweetheart, the cruel and mocking Katherina Serafima Gleb (Sara Yellen '00). She, in turn, kicks...

...really a philosophical question: Would you trade the ability to make certain facial expressions in order to look years younger or at least "well rested"? Maggie, a 52-year-old who wants to be identified only by her first name, would say yes. And so she is sitting in a Manhattan doctor's office having her forehead injected with a dozen or so shots of botulinum toxin A, or Botox, as it is known commercially. The toxin paralyzes local facial muscles and thus eliminates wrinkles caused by muscle contractions--in this case the worry lines in Maggie's forehead...
