...Bush for dinner at his home there. The two men met for breakfast at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City and did some quiet photo ops for private donors. During a stop in Little Rock to shoot some public-service announcements last spring, 41 spent more than an hour talking alone with 42 in the mock Oval Office at the Clinton library. "It looked like a wax museum in there," said a visitor who peeked...
During the two-hour drive from Montreal, where U2 played the previous night, Bono flips through manila folders full of briefing papers to prepare for meetings with Canada's opposition leaders. He fires a few croaky-throated questions at Drummond--"What is this soft-lumber argument between Canada and the U.S.?"--and tries out phrases for the media scrum that will start the day, imagining how they will play in the Canadian papers.

...Rarely has a man so nicely matched his hour. A third-generation politician, Koizumi toiled for decades in relative obscurity in the Diet until he unexpectedly vaulted to power in 2001 on a platform that promised sweeping economic reforms.

In the new film Leung plays a harsher version of the same character, as he languishes in room 2046 of a Hong Kong hotel and half-heartedly courts a quartet of fabulous dames...
...pics, among them Yuen Qiu (who?s a hoot as the Alley?s bullying landlady), Chan?s boyhood schoolmate Yuen Wah (as the henpecked landlord) and Bruce Leung (as the mild-mannered ultimate warrior, the Beast). But though Chow the actor doesn?t take center stage until the second hour, Chow the auteur is fully in change. Behind the movie?s frantic fun is a directorial eye so acute it makes most Hollywood directors seem myopic...
