...times the Brits err on the other side: understatement can shade toward indifference. Mirren was so reasonably sure of taking both awards that, in her first acceptance speech, she didn't bother with the obligatory thank-you to her husband, director Taylor Hackford. She did that the second time. Perhaps Mirren is saving her "A" material for the Oscars. Expect a regal proclamation when she wins...
...will also be a terrific spokesman for her cause, but that is a double-edged sword--and this is how Hillary Clinton will also be running, metaphorically, against her husband. She will never have his performance skills, an especially daunting deficit because the presidency is the office where the ability to lead and inspire is part of the job description. No one doubts Hillary Clinton's substance; even potential Republican opponents like Newt Gingrich and John McCain have praised her ability to understand tough issues and find the best answers.

...prohibitively rational, unclouded by undue emotionality. She doesn't get misty and bite her lip in public. She doesn't feel your pain; she understands it.

...never seemed to be with them when they headed off to school. Says neighbor Alma Rodriguez: "He was a skater-kind of kid, who didn't speak to anyone." Rodriguez, who lives in a two-bedroom apartment across the tiny green lawn from Devlin's apartment with her husband and two small children, said she never saw Shawn leave in the morning for school. "I didn't think about it at the time, but now I guess it is odd." Both Rodriguez and Richards recall a more irritable Devlin, not the "marshmallow" that friends describe. Rodriguez remembers some heated, profanity...
...decade and a half. Khaleda Zia, 61, heads the Bangladesh National Party and is the widow of assassinated President Ziaur Rahman; and Sheik Hasina, 59, leads the Awami League and is the daughter of Bangladesh's first President, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Zia blames Hasina's Awami League for her husband's killing, while Hasina believes Zia's husband knew of the plot to kill her father and brothers. Three years ago former U.S. President Jimmy Carter tried to get the two women to shake hands, but neither could bring herself to even look at the other. At a service...
