...Tripoli that Libya thinks now is a good time to ask Britain to investigate an assassination plot several years ago against Gaddafi - a plot which British officials deny ever existed. For its part, Britain wants Libyan officials to divulge information about the murder of British police officer Yvonne Fletcher, who was shot outside the Libyan embassy in 1984.

It's a different kind of comeback, but maybe an even better...
...success of The Proposal is a victory both for women filmmakers (director Anne Fletcher, who also did the Katherine Heigl hit 27 Dresses) and for actresses of a certain age, say, over 30. Bullock, who still looks great, gets started on her biggest hit a month before her 45th birthday. That's not girl power - it's almost grandma gold...
