...trade representative fired back: "The U.S. will not agree to permit new aircraft subsidies that are illegal under WTO rules. That certainly covers launch aid." Competition in the commercial airplane market - expected to be worth $2 trillion over the next 20 years - is to be expected, but this feud has bigger implications. At its core, it is a debate about the relationship between the state and private enterprise - specifically, what sort of helping hand a country can legally give its friendly local planemaker.

...film sets Murray's dedication to an inner code of ethics--and his demand that others follow it--has earned him a reputation for being difficult. (During the making of Charlie's Angels, he and Lucy Liu engaged in a feud over creative differences, reportedly causing production to shut down for a day.)

The first time O'Neill's anger at Kerry surfaced was in 1971, when the fellow naval officers debated the Vietnam War on The Dick Cavett Show, with Kerry speaking out against the war and O'Neill defending it. This time out, O'Neill, 58, and the group he helped...
...Peanut Butter and Juliet” by the Currier House Drama Society.

This comedy should be appetizing…or appalling.
