...Croatia? Montenegro? And Serbia, of course. Kosovo cannot stand on its own feet. It has no significant mineral resources, no significant agriculture and no significant industry that could attract foreign investors. Put alongside this the stationing of rockets in Poland, radar posts in the Czech Republic, and America's flirt-and-more with the states of the once "soft underbelly" of the (Soviet) Russian bear, among them Georgia. Russia had to react! We thought it a good idea to put a ring into the nose of the Russian bear in Kosovo, and the bear now drags the supposed bear tamer...
...considered a career as an actor, that he lunched with Julia Roberts and slept with Madonna (that relationship didn't work out, we're told, because ''Madonna came on far too strong for him.

And we rely on a sprawling network of faraway suppliers for necessities like warmth and food. If the power cuts off, many of us still don't know where the stairs are in our skyscrapers...
...little people (or, as on The Biggest Loser, the big people). VH1, home of "celebreality" shows about the almost famous, has produced one of the most fascinating shows so far this year with Celebrity Rehab. Whereas the network's The Surreal Life brought D listers together to drink, flirt and fight under the same roof, Rehab was the corollary cautionary tale in which substance-abusing guests checked into an actual rehab facility under the care of Loveline's Dr. Drew Pinsky. As trashy as its concept was, Rehab's first season was surprisingly earnest, decent and, well, sober, especially...
