...known as "Silvertongues." (In the similarly themed Christmas release Bedtime Stories, they were known as Adam Sandler). For Mo Folchart (Brendan Fraser), being a Silvertongue has proved something of a curse. Nine years ago he read aloud from book called Inkheart to disastrous consequences. Out popped several bandits, including head villain Capricorn (Andy Serkis) and a gloomy fellow named Dustfingers (Paul Bettany) who starts fires with his hands. As if that weren't bad enough, into the book went Mo's wife, Resa (Sienna Guillory), leaving behind her disconsolate husband and child. (See pictures of movie costumes...

If the past is any indication, electric carmakers should look to the Andes with sober eyes. "This is a unique opportunity for us," says Bolivian Mining Minister Luis Alberto Echazu.

Indeed, Bolivia's lithium abundance could put car manufacturers in the position of replacing one energy-rich Latin American U.S. critic - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez...

...needed to run the largest branch of our nation's bank from home. To get the deduction, though, Geithner, on the basis of his salary, would have had to spend at least $8,000 on home office equipment. But that shouldn't be too tough. If you are the head of the New York Fed, a 73-in. high-definition television ($3,000 and up) to watch CNBC is a legitimate business expense, right...

...When Israel struck Gaza in December the Arab moderates initially backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, head of Fatah, while the resisters supported Fatah's bitter rivals, Hamas. Egypt and Saudi Arabia criticized Hamas for triggering the conflict by refusing to extend a six-month cease-fire. But as the death toll climbed and anger rose on the streets of Arab capitals, Saudi Arabia fell silent and Egypt scrambled to find a diplomatic solution...
