...brief appearance, apathetically commanding the listener to “get buck wild,” is disappointing. Although it can partly be attributed to the groove (or lack thereof), Snoop is unconvincing at best. A song that is strictly about sex generally doesn’t lend itself to the most creative video schemes, so credit is certainly due to director Paul Hunter for not exclusively filming the video in the bedroom. Still, choosing Paris as the setting is puzzling; the song is not classy, romantic, or French in any sense. The words “buck wild?...
...record may have prevented it from winning a seat on the council. Yet, we fear that its final decision barks again of a chronic unwillingness to compromise. If the U.N. is to become an effective organization, its members must be willing to meet halfway on their individual aims and lend support to laudable efforts such as the creation of this council. The U.S. cannot expect the scores of other member nations to bow to its desires; a negotiation of over 100 countries requires concessions in the name of progress. Though this new council may not conform to the American vision...
...opportunity. Want to become a sushi chef, a marketing consultant or a bank manager? No problem. No previous experience required. Nobody else in the country knows how to do those jobs either. Or why not set up your own business? There's no shortage of people willing to lend you money. (But watch out for those extortionists.)

The pay's not much better, but the job is a lot more dynamic...
...Kongjian, China's pre-eminent landscape architect, was brought down from Beijing to lend the project some cachet?and, as is often the case, his first move was to throw a wrench into other people's plans. Zhongshan didn't need more flowers, Yu told the city officials; it didn't need fountains, ornate wrought-iron fences, or hedges shaped like animals. Instead of bulldozing the shipyard, he proposed, they could put it to new use. A gantry crane would make an interesting gate, a crumbling water tower could become the base of a lighted beacon. Instead of grass...
Such discoveries lend credence to those, like former Prime Minister and chief U.S. ally Iyad Allawi, who say Iraq is already mired in civil war. Yet despite the bloodshed on both sides, the militants on the front lines don't consider themselves in outright conflict with one another. "War might be tomorrow or one year from now; it all depends on the sparks made by those seeking to inflame it," says Abu Mohammed, a former top-ranking officer in Saddam Hussein's army and now a key Baathist insurgent strategist. Another Baathist insurgent downplays the pervasiveness of sectarian hatred...
