...nonsense doesn't stop there. The Pentagon policy was plainly designed to reward those countries that have supported the war and punish those that have opposed it. (Let us gloss over that Turkey, which would not let U.S. troops transit to Iraq, is on the approved list, while Canada, which has sent cash to Iraq, and Germany, which has offered to train a new Iraqi police force, are not.) That, it appears, is the "essential security interest" that justifies limiting competition for these contracts. So you might suppose that it is similarly in the national interest to limit those that...
...sinister take on Mr. Toad from The Wind in the Willows and the talking rabbit in Alice in Wonderland, as well as--this is virtuosity in action, folks--the real-life 19th century painter Gustave Moreau.

Says Cristina Bartolucci, co-founder of DuWop cosmetics: "Irritating the lips just a touch creates a full and beautiful look." Another product, Plump Your Pucker gloss by the Balm, promises to make...
...desire to create a whole new brand rather than simply introduce Avon products for younger women. Mark's beauty wares are, as division head Fine puts it, "jean-pocket friendly and girl influenced." A key selling point: girls can pick the products they want--say, a concealer and lip gloss--and clip them together in a single piece that they can tuck in a pocket. "My customers are really excited about the products," says Jenny Powell, 19, a Mark rep in New Ulm, Minn., whose mom is a 17-year Avon seller...
