...positioning for the Presidential race heats up, they'll be calling on that megaphone even more frequently. For most potential candidates, a trip out west will include a visit with a couple of the industry's notable Democratic activists - producer Norman Lear, Warner Brothers Entertainment President Alan Horn, actor-director Rob Reiner, George Clooney, to name a few. There will be breakfasts, private get-togethers in Hollywood homes, parties to recruit younger Hollywood supporters and bigger fundraisers. Just which candidate most of the Hollywood crowd winds up back remains to be seen, but one thing is fairly certain: Streisand will...
...some of the things that the Crimson still needed to improve upon. “We need to take care of the puck,” Stone said. “We cannot pass our problems to someone else, as we call it.” When the final horn sounded, Harvard’s defense had held strong and repelled Quinnipiac, its six power plays, and the minute of extra-skater play in the third period.

It shares that anti-Islamist position with the U.S., particularly since August 1998 when simultaneous suicide bombings destroyed the American embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, killing more than 200 people. The ringleaders were tracked to Somalia, and an Islamist...
...Sheikh Hassan has now called on all Islamist forces to fall back to Mogadishu and prepare for a long war against the invaders. Whether that materializes remains to be seen. But what is certain is that the strife-torn Horn is more divided today than ever - and is increasingly the arena for an international war between the forces of radical Islam, and the West and its allies...
