...Barbie gathering at the Marriot Wardman Hotel may have seemed out of touch with the nation's economic woes, but "the Barbie market is very, very strong," says Sandi Holder, owner of the world's sole Barbie-only museum, located in Union City, Calif.

James Gandolfini plays a dovish U.S. General...
Intel experts disagree, arguing that the military's interrogators tend to be low-ranking soldiers who are unlikely to have much understanding of the psychological aspects of interrogation - or the broader strategic implication of the information gleaned. "Military guys, they want to know the location of the next IED, the next arms cache - immediately actionable information," says the retired interrogator. "Intel people, we like a more long-term view. We want to know about the structure of a terrorist organization, the larger objectives...
