...spending bill. Obama, much to the left of Coburn, is an unlikely friend, but the Senate's most famous freshman said his and Coburn's wives became fast friends during the orientation for new senators and their families, and Obama has vocally supported Coburn's spending efforts. "He's fearless in his approach," says Obama. Coburn has also found support from groups like Citizens Against Government Waste and the American Conservative Union, as well as a blog called porkbusters, to which his office is often feeding information about egregious earmarks, in the hopes of stirring opposition in conservative blogs that...
...SUED. JET LI, 42, charismatic Chinese martial-arts star; by the descendants of Qing-dynasty kung fu master Huo Yuanjia, whom Li portrayed in the recent film Fearless; in Beijing. Huo's relatives say that the movie contains many inaccuracies about his life?for example, that he killed innocent people for sport?and maligns the family's reputation.

Mayra Sérbulo, a Mexican Zapotec Indian who has been nominated this year for an Ariel (Mexico's Oscar) as best supporting actress, agrees. "People do have to remember that this is action fiction, not a Maya documentary," she warns. "But I'm frankly surprised and excited about...
...extremely confusing issue. Foreigners aren't allowed to own U.S. television stations, which is why Rupert Murdoch had to become an American citizen to create the Fox network. Is owning a TV station a greater threat to national security than managing a port? Let me make a fearless prediction here: the ports controversy will soon turn into an even greater battle over U.S. defense contracts going to foreign-owned companies, including-as the Washington Post reported last week-Dubai International Capital, which wants to buy a company that makes components for U.S. tanks and military aircraft. Lawrence Korb, a defense...
