...needs Iraqi help more than ever, that is a brutal assessment. With fresh troops in limited supply and many of Washington's coalition partners bailing out, U.S. commanders have spent months scrambling to train and push forward Iraqi security and police forces who can relieve exhausted U.S. troops, lift the U.S.'s footprint from the occupation and maintain law and order after June 30, when the U.S. plans to turn over sovereignty to a caretaker Iraqi government.

...taken over by French personal-grooming behemoth L'Oreal, headed by Lindsay Owen-Jones. As it has done with so many of its 17 beauty brands--like the zany personal-care line Garnier or the ethnic hair-care concern SoftSheen/Carson--L'Oreal gave Maybelline a marketing face-lift and sent it out to conquer the world. "I had what was perhaps an unrealistic ambition," Owen-Jones, 58, told TIME: "to put a Maybelline lipstick in the hand of every woman in China...
