...part of the tough guy. The new President of Mexico is short and bespectacled, an owlish lawyer and economist who evokes technocrats like Michael Dukakis. When he visited Mexican troops battling drug gangs in western Michoacán state earlier this year, Calderón donned an olive green army jacket and a five-star general's cap and was later photographed in a military Hummer. That incongruous image conjured unflattering comparisons to the tank ride that doomed Dukakis' U.S. presidential hopes in 1988. But Calderón has not only weathered the ridicule; he has thrived on it. Elected with just...
...Then comes the Striptease, the long conveyor belt where you have to put all your belongings before going through the security check. Some days they make me take off my jacket, other days, my shoes or my belt. It's very frustrating, especially when you get behind a woman with lots of earrings and bracelets who doesn't know how the machine works - and there are hundreds of people pushing and shoving behind you.

People seem to be more pleasant around March 1st. I think this is because somehow...
...other actresses roamed the Golden Globe Awards dressed in wisps of lemon yellow and cerulean blue and glistening with diamonds, Angelina Jolie showed up wearing a solemn sheath the color of a Mao jacket, as if perhaps she had missed a turn on her way to a very chic commune. While her look indeed turned heads, conspicuous for its anti-glamour, in a way it made more sense than the alternative. After all, with her philanthropy and travels through Africa and emphasis on family values, motherhood and global awareness, wouldn't it have been a glaring clash to be flashy...
