...franchise, the new movie casts a number of medium-known young people - here Channing Tatum, Marlon Wayans, Rachel Nichols and a few others - as members of an élite force of the best, the brightest and the hottest. G.I. Joe is not a man but an international paramilitary force, kind of like Blackwater but without all that messy scandal. The cadre is up against an arms dealer whose organization will eventually spawn Cobra, reminiscent of the SPECTRE cartel of the early James Bond films. They're the sort of well-bred terrorists who, just before firing the weapons that will...
...interview with FlyBy after the episode was aired, Scarlet said she thought of her part as an acting role, to shake up "this kind of environment where people seem to take themselves awfully seriously."

So when word came last month that the Democrats were drawing up a new public-relations battle plan, the insurance companies were sent reeling - and seemed to be caught off-guard...
Abdullah, for one, is already prepared for a different kind of vote tampering. He expects fraud, he says, but assures TIME that his popularity will overcome any poll manipulation. "You can play with numbers through vote-rigging or through using the state apparatus. But you cannot ignore the sentiments of the nation. Karzai doesn't have that kind of support." Last week, Abdullah's campaign manager, Abdul Sattar Murad, told the Dubai-based National newspaper that his team would actively reject a result that had Karzai winning in the first round, saying the only way the incumbent could...
