...It’s pretty easy to pay lip service to transparency and openness, but it is an entirely different thing to actually stand by that and provide more information to the community,” Paley said. “Hopefully we will see much more comprehensive logs in the upcoming months...
...wife, muse and taskmistress, LINDA LEE PORTER, played by ASHLEY JUDD. Kline--who has experience with sexually ambiguous characters from 1997's In & Out--portrays the composer as a "lover of wine, men and song," he says.

Last week Jacques Chirac and Gerhard Schröder swore they did, pledging to team up to develop "the industrial champions that Europe needs," in the words of the French President. A top-level delegation of French ministers will head to Berlin in late May to trade ideas with their German counterparts.
