...embezzle-ment and tax evasion - including financial irregularities at OM. Shortly before prison doors slammed behind him in 1997, new investors bought the humiliated and financially ruined OM. Despite invest-ments of $125 million since - mostly on new talent - OM stands at the brink of relegation and fans are furious. In desperation, the new owners turned to Tapie to save his old outfit, giving him control of team management and a reported stake in the club. Can political rehabilitation be far away...
Josie and the Pussycats combines the fast, furious feel of a garage-band single with the frenetic kinesis of a music video.

But the President is unlikely to be swayed by Scandinavian invective, or even by Europe's reasoned entreaties to take global warming more seriously, after essentially rejecting the same advice from his environment secretary, Christie Whitman. Bush made clear Thursday that he was willing to work with U.S. allies to address the question of global warming, but would...
