...Today we have the summer's last major comedy: Superbad, produced by Apatow and co-written by Rogen. It's about a pudgy, mouthy slob named Seth (Jonah Hill) and his quieter, slightly more kempt buddy Evan (Michael Cera) who want, with variously intense degrees of desperation, to get laid before they graduate from high school. At the end of a night of wacky hijinks, the lads do wind up in a sleeping bag, exchanging intimacies with...each other...
...deter further killings by living among Muslims himself, and he embarked on a hunger strike against communal violence that generated such public shame and outrage that sectarian tensions in the city gave way to universal concern for the aging man of principle. Gandhi broke his fast as weeping rioters laid their machetes at his feet...
When the ballots were finally counted in the Iowa straw poll on the evening of Aug. 11, former Governor Mitt Romney was the winner, with 31.5% of the vote. But it was Mike Huckabee, the laid-back former Governor of Arkansas, who bounded into the press tent ahead of the others to exult in his second-place finish.

The report made it clear that while progress was being made in areas like correcting the Everglades' water flow and reducing pollutants, more was needed. The World Heritage...
...very different era of Asian competition. In the 1970s, it took a hit from top-performing Japanese bikes. What was once a company of 1,000 employees largely responsible for Pesaro's post-1945 growth had halted new production twice in the past two decades. By 1995, it had laid off all but the shell of a staff; those who were left merely produced replacement parts for existing bikes. Mauro Righi, who has worked 33 years at his hometown company, has survived repeated rounds of layoffs. Currently responsible for emission systems, Righi is the only employee left who worked when...
