...brakeless popularity of the syndicated series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess, Fox this week launches Roar (Mondays, 9 p.m. ET), a show about a reluctant prince named Conor (Heath Ledger) who in 400 A.D. fought to save the last remaining Celtic land (what would become Ireland) from the nasty, enslaving Romans. Never mind that the Roman occupation of Britain was already crumbling by then and that it never extended to Ireland in the first place. Historical exactitude isn't something to be expected from a series with a prince who looks like Doogie Howser, and a Roman...
BELFAST: Three Protestant leaders have stormed out the Belfast talks on Northern Ireland's future, proclaiming disgust over a compromise on disarming the paramilitaries of both sides. While Unionist leaders want the IRA to hand their arms to international monitors before talks on wider issues start, the IRA wants to keep them until after a settlement is reached.

His efforts achieved a not entirely positive validation on Dec. 1, 1995, when President Bill Clinton, on a state visit to Ireland, said the following during a speech in Belfast: "I got a letter from 13-year-old Ryan from Belfast. Now, Ryan, if you're out in the crowd tonight, here's the answer to your question. No, as far as I know, an alien spacecraft did not crash in Roswell...
Five years ago, Sinead O'Connor ripped up a photo of the Pope on TV. Recently, she's been quietly putting her own life back together. A single mother, she's raising her son Jake, 10, and daughter Roisin, 1, and taking college courses about her native Ireland. The new, more introspective O'Connor, 30, is now touring the U.S. to promote Gospel Oak, her graceful six-song mini-album. She spoke with TIME's Christopher John Farley on the phone from London before the tour began...
