...international community." Kerry does acknowledge that the U.S. and the world are better off with Saddam in prison. But he argues that the ends do not justify the means, and while he refuses to call the war a mistake, he certainly implies as much when he talks at length about the ways in which America is now "weaker." Bush's "arrogant, inept, reckless and ideological" foreign policy, he says, has cost the U.S. valuable friends and business abroad, inflamed Muslim radicals, distracted attention and resources from the hunt for al-Qaeda, and established a precedent we would not want...
...friend said. At Eleganza tryouts (note: its a pun on elegant), I couldn’t really argue with those sentiments. I was wearing a floral print bathing suit, a different floral print Hawaiian shirt, a jacket fit for the Swiss army (and only the Swiss army) and knee-length black socks. The look on her face was telling me that I needed to step off. I was standing in line between three women on my right and four women on my left, all dressed to the nines.

...outside the archipelago until now. The poem, also called I La Galigo, survives in thousands of fragmentary manuscripts and was written in an archaic Indonesian language that maybe no more than 50 people today are able to understand.

The creation myth of the Bugis people of South Sulawesi, I La Galigo (which takes its name from one of its protagonists) is a stirring saga of gods and demons and heroes, love sacred and profane...
...Otterloo & Co., notes that in the third years of U.S. presidential terms, markets in Britain and Japan, far from the influence of the Oval Office, have been even more bullish than those in the U.S. Why? Because there may be a pattern here but not a rule. Like the length of women's hemlines and the outcome of the Super Bowl, the apparently predictable effect of the presidency on stock returns is probably random...
...famous couture house, now a cultural foundation and home to his archives. Last Friday evening, Saint Laurent devotees such as Catherine Deneuve were invited to walk through the archives to examine collections past. Behind the heavy rolling doors were seemingly endless racks of chiffon dresses, beaded jackets and floor-length feathered coats, many of which are indelibly etched on the minds of fashion mavens. Downstairs, in what was once the couture salon, an exhibit entitled "Dialogue with Art" highlighted some of Saint Laurent's iconic silhouettes: the Mondrian dresses, the Picasso homage of intricately beaded capes splashed with Cubist images...
