Kansas has a knowing relationship with radicals. A portrait of abolitionist John Brown - gun in one hand, Bible in the other - occupies a place of honor at the state capitol in Topeka. Bar-bashing Carry Nation took her hatchet to some of the best saloons in the state. Wichitans long ago processed the fact that a doctor with a mansion in the suburbs wore not just a gown to work but also a bulletproof vest. They kept it at arm's length, though. Some places, like some people, seem to relish any sort of attention. Not this place...
Conan, in other words, revels in being the outsider, the underdog, the geek. (Jay's signature bit, on the other hand, was "Jaywalking," where he went on the street to ask people news and history questions and made them look ridiculous.) This is both a defining Gen X trait - think Judd Apatow's movies and Beck's "Loser" - and a sensibility suited to the 12:30 p.m. Late Night, the slacker sibling to The Tonight Show. Some doubters wonder if that can translate to a broader 11:30 audience. By promoting Conan and moving Jay, NBC is betting that this...
...more severe sanctions or even military action if and when they fail," says Gary Sick, a former National Security Council staffer who is now a professor at Columbia University. The Iranians, too, seem to smell a trap, telling European diplomats that they fear that the U.S. is extending a hand to Iran only in an attempt to build a united coalition against them when talks fail. Indeed, on his May trip to the Persian Gulf, Ross carried a message for Iran's Arab neighbors, all of whom worry that Tehran will get nukes if Obama makes too nice. "Right...
...Video footage from the crime scene of British student Meredith Kercher's murder flickers on a laptop screen as Bremner points out what she deems critical flaws in the collection of evidence. After placing rulers on the sides of a bloody shoeprint, for example, a blue-rubber-gloved hand reaches down with a piece of white cloth and scrubs the bloody mark off the tile floor before putting the cloth into an evidence tube. This happens three times for three separate footprints. In film footage taken at least a day later, another team of investigators attempts, using photographs, to place...
...Take your own pen with you, because at the ballot box they may hand out pens whose ink turns invisible after a while," was one of many mass mobile text messages circulated by the opposition in the tense run-up. "Wouldn't that equally affect Ahmadinejad votes?" asked one confused voter, 19-year-old Farid Shobeiri, who had shown up in Tehran's Vanak Square to show his support for the President's main rival, Mir-Hossein Mousavi. "Of course they'll only distribute those pens in clearly pro-Mousavi stations in north Tehran," was the matter-of-fact response...
