...arrive at Hollywood's Kodak Theater. The crowd in the bleachers roars. It turns out it has nothing to do with my stylist's choices (BCBG sale rack dress, laptop bag by Targus), but rather the arrival of Al Gore. Enjoy your moment, Mr. Vice President. Rumor on the carpet is that Leo is about to exit his hybrid...
...Hillary Clinton lately has deployed the argument among Democrats that she should be nominated because she has a proven record of vanquishing her enemies. So she might think it's to her advantage to put her knife-fighting skills on display. Former Vice President Al Gore has privately told friends that his familiarity with the Clintons' hardball campaign style is one of the reasons he would be leery of making a run against Hillary. Geffen told Dowd he expected a brutal primary because the Clinton "machine is going to be very unpleasant and unattractive and effective." But Obama showed, despite...
...kids, now 14 and 15, have seen and often shaken hands with many a famous politician. George Bush visited their elementary school and they went on a school field trip to an Al Gore rally downtown.

In Australia, the dynamic in grass-roots politics and public policy is toward immediate action...
Diana Krall fans might breathe a sigh of relief. U.S. Marines in Iraq play and sing plenty of music in George Gittoes' documentary Soundtrack to War (2004)-from gore metal to gospel, thrash to rap-but the Canadian songbird's contemporary jazz is not included. "We support you, Diana," says one soldier in the film. "We just can't listen to you when we roll." It's one telling moment in a movie filled with them. Another is the scene where a gospel choir in U.S. Army fatigues breaks off its outdoor rehearsal because of enemy fire: "That...
