...star. (In a corner of a Manhattan restaurant darker than a crypt, her spiky air makes her subject to countless gape-mouthed stares.) In the nurturing United Nations dynamic the band aspires to, O is the U.S., and when she moved to Los Angeles in 2004 and pushed to hire producer Sam (Squeak E. Clean) Spiegel, the brother of her then boyfriend, director Spike Jonze, Zinner and Chase reluctantly went along.

A large majority, 71%, favor major penalties for people who hire illegal immigrants; 62% want the U.S. to take "whatever steps are necessary" to secure the border with Mexico, including posting military forces; and 56% favor a 2,000-mile-long fence.
