...backwater strongman to a genuine global player, capitalizing on sky-high oil prices to spread his influence across Latin America and to win attention when he denounces the Bush Administration. That has made Caracas a hot destination for leftist tourists, bolstered Chávez's celebrity cachet--he counts Danny Glover and Harry Belafonte as friends--and made him the most visible Latin leader since Fidel Castro. But his rhetorical excesses, like his antics at the U.N., allow his critics to dismiss him as a buffoonish pretender. It was a sign of how badly his act played in New York City...

Juleanna Glover Weiss, an ex--press secretary for Vice President Dick Cheney, is registered as an eBay lobbyist on "patent reform...
DIED. FAYARD NICHOLAS, 91, tap dancer extraordinaire who, with brother Harold, performed gravity-defying fantasias with his feet, inspiring generations of dancers from Fred Astaire to Savion Glover; in Toluca Lake, Calif. The self-taught Nicholas Brothers leaped to prominence in the '30s, performing flips and splits with ease. Their acrobatics landed them roles in nearly 30 films--including 1943's Stormy Weather, whose finale features a flawless leapfrog down a spiral staircase. But because of Jim Crow--era practices, the African-American brothers rarely got starring or speaking parts...
