...Turns out Stone doesn't want to be the final guy to join the lynch mob. Rather than a denunciation of Bush (hagiography is out of the question), he offers a fairly straightforward life. The film moves simultaneously on two chronological tracks: Bush's life from his Yale undergraduate days in the mid-'60s to his governorship of Texas in the mid-'90s, and his Administration's 2002 preparation to invade Iraq...
...concessions in return for taxpayers' money. There'll be no cash bonuses for execs of the three institutions this year (though their annual salaries, all upwards of $1.5 million, will remain intact). Future remuneration will be more closely tied to the banks' long-term performance. Government-appointed directors will join the lenders' boards.

Strangely enough, when I would speak to this among a group of Senators, it took more time than I thought to get some of them to come up and join me and say, "I want to work on this because I have a relative or a friend." But eventually, four or five Senators came up to me and said, "We got to work on this, Pete, because it's real." It took many a month until that first bill got to the floor. Then we just rolled it through the Senate. That was the first bill in 1996. And that...
...Pittsburgh, Pa., voted to break from the Episcopal Church amid controversy over same-sex marriage and the ordination of openly gay bishops that has divided the 77-million-member Anglican Communion--to which the Episcopal Church belongs--since 2003. Roughly two-thirds of Pittsburgh-area congregations are expected to join the diocese, which has aligned itself with Anglican churches in South America...
