...also less gushy and girlish (Romy Schneider covered that ground in 1954's Victoria in Dover). Victoria left ample and surprisingly intimate diaries, as well as her sketchbooks, which provided evidence of her platonic infatuation with Lord M. (she mostly got misty-eyed over the idea of him as a young man) and her nearly instantaneous attraction to her cousin Albert, whom she described as "extremely handsome ... he has a beautiful nose and a very sweet mouth" - which is certainly true of Friend...
...Town neighborhood. The club, and the troupe that shares its name, was opened by three theater veterans and University of Chicago grads, Bernard Sahlins, Paul Sills and Howard Alk. They took the name from the condescending title of a New Yorker article about Chicago by A.J.

He lost in 2008 to Christofias, a communist who ran on a pro-settlement campaign. Christofias and Turkish Cypriot leader Talat get along. Both are youthful...
...movement like Advent Conspiracy is countercultural on two fronts - fighting the secular idea that Christmas is a monthlong shopping and decorating ritual and also the powerful conservative notion that the holiday requires acknowledgement from the nation's retailers to be truly meaningful. It's not easy, says a youth pastor whose church supports Advent Conspiracy. "When you start jacking with people's idea of what Christmas is and you start to go against this $450 billion machine of materialism and consumerism, it really messes with people," he explains. "It takes a lot of patience to say there's a different...
