...Even without Diesel, No. 2's opening revved past the first's. It will endure "as long as young people like cars," says a box-office guru...
Howard Dean is hardly what you would call a high-tech guru. The former Vermont Governor, whose trademark look is a blue shirt with rolled-up sleeves, is a mostly gadget-free zone. He does not carry a BlackBerry email pager or tablet PC (he leaves those to his aides). And don't expect to find Dean, 54, surfing the Web for hours at home.

...Vajpayee's recommandeering of India's political agenda is testament to the shrewdness of the man now acknowledged as one of the country's canniest operators.
