...Government Shutdown'? I was surprised that you included an article by Newt Gingrich in your cover package [March 1]. Isn't the idea of Gingrich giving advice on bipartisan cooperation akin to asking the fox for advice on how to guard the henhouse? He is the king of noncooperation and partisanship. There are people on both sides of the aisle who can offer advice about bipartisanship and have at least a modicum of credibility. Sandy Stanley muscatine, Iowa...
...fourth solid showing for 20th Century Fox's moppet movies. With Wimpy following Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, Tooth Fairy and Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, Fox has cemented its rep as the tween baby-sitter studio. Paramount's 20-something version of the wimp-hero theme, She's Out of My League, held well with a modest 38.5% drop from last weekend to finish fifth. Together, Wimpy and She's Out of My League could forge a new in-person social network: the nerd date movie...
...relocate its diplomatic mojo. In the 20th century it was known for being the interlocutor between the U.S. and Cuba and for heading the Contadora group of Latin nations that helped broker peace during the Central American civil wars of the 1980s. Many point to former Mexican President Vicente Fox's 2002 falling-out with Cuba as a cause of Mexico's foreign policy retrenchment.

When Mexico was under the dictatorial rule of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) from 1929 to 2000, the government could worry less about domestic...
That's partly because they don't know about it. Unlike its fellow nominees Up, The Princess and the Frog, Fantastic Mr. Fox and Coraline, The Secret of Kells has no star voice actors or big-studio promotional machine behind it. Its relative obscurity is typical of the lopsided world of children's films. There's a huge market for the sort of loud and cheerful entertainment that features singing chipmunks, love-struck vampires or wisecracking species from the Pleistocene era; family films regularly top the annual box-office blockbuster lists. But there's almost nowhere for quieter, less merchandise...
Florida voters knew Republican Governor Charlie Crist would go on the attack sooner or later this year to try to salvage his floundering campaign for the U.S. Senate. But they surely had no idea that his rival's grooming habits would become an issue. Last week on Fox News, Crist blasted his surging opponent in the August Republican primary election, former Florida house speaker Marco Rubio, for having used a GOP-issued American Express card for personal purchases, including $133.75 spent at a deluxe Miami barbershop. Rubio is "trying to pawn himself off as a fiscal conservative," Crist said...
