...surprised that you included an article by Newt Gingrich in your cover package [March 1]. Isn't the idea of Gingrich giving advice on bipartisan cooperation akin to asking the fox for advice on how to guard the henhouse? He is the king of noncooperation and partisanship. There are people on both sides of the aisle who can offer advice about bipartisanship and have at least a modicum of credibility...
...militias and political parties ever since. Iran won't be the only country likely to flex its muscles after the election. Turkey - which has a restive Kurdish minority of its own - will try to block any further devolution of power to Kurdistan. And last month, Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah invited leaders of a pro-Sunni coalition to visit Riyadh, a sign that the kingdom would like to play a role as protector of Iraq's Sunnis.

Just behind that, at $8.3 million, was the love story Remember Me, starring vampire swoon king Robert Pattinson; not nearly enough Twilight fans booked tickets on the young male dreamboat. The interracial Our Family Wedding, with America Ferrara and Forest Whitaker, earned $7.6 million to finish sixth (after the holdover Shutter Island). So the four brand-new movies took in only about $40 million...
...Panitan said that he suspects some red shirts hope to provoke the military into responding with force, or even stage an incident so that the military will be blamed. They would then appeal to constitutional monarch King Bhumibol Adulyadej to intervene. The 82-year-old king, recuperating in a Bangkok hospital from a lung infection, has on occasion intervened to end bloodshed and forge a compromise during times of crisis. Thaksin's opponents have questioned whether he and the red shirt movement are loyal to the monarch...
