...passengers sets sail. Astoundingly voluptuous “women” decked out in fur, pompoms, spangles, pleather, and sequins from head to toe—or rather from the lower half of their colossal breasts to the tops of their stockinged thighs—strut the decks. A Hitler look-alike (Josh C. Phillips ’07) dutifully trots after a terrifyingly overgrown Shirley Temple clone. A sleazy-looking captain (Alan D. Zackheim ’06) herds the crowd, ridiculously wielding his violin case as a rifle...
...IRVING, 67, to three years in jail for denying the Holocaust; in Vienna, Austria. The controversial British historian was arrested last November on charges stemming from two speeches he gave in Austria in 1989, in which he called the gas chambers of Auschwitz a "fairytale" and claimed that Adolf Hitler had protected Europe's Jews. Irving, who was seized by Austrian police on his way to address a far-right student fraternity in Vienna, told the court that he had since changed his views and felt sorrow "for all the innocent people who died during the Second World...
...disqualified for a game and fined €10,000 - but not prosecuted.

"You know that Hitler didn't smoke?" he asks suddenly, as though daring me to disagree that this alone might explain der Fhrer's lust for world conquest. Last fall on British radio Hockney debated Julie Morgan, the Labour Member of Parliament who spearheaded the ban. "Death awaits you whether you smoke or not," he warned her. "Pubs...
...vilified in recent months by many of Bangkok's residents. Demonstrations in the capital have become a weekly feature, led by a businessman-turned-political opponent of Thaksin, Sondhi Limthongkul, whose rallies draw tens of thousands. Vasan is a regular. An artist, he sketches caricatures of Thaksin as Hitler (sporting moustache and swastika) to hand out, and reads poems and sings songs to warm up the crowds before Sondhi takes to the stage. "I'm here to get Thaksin," Vasan, 48, growls. "He's ruining our country...
