...those lovelorn Gen Xers who've been waiting for geek-hunk actor JOHN CUSACK to show up outside their windows with a boom box: he's not coming. Cusack is dating MEG RYAN, whom he first met when the two stars lent their voice talents to Disney's cartoon epic Anastasia. Which is somehow appropriate, given that Cusack and Ryan, who is five years older, form what may be the cutest couple the human species has ever produced. Seriously, if they ever have a kid, it's gonna come out a Care Bear. The two are notorious for dating their...
...farfetched to connect the suicides of two young men - one possibly facing jail, the other lovelorn - to the stress of postcommunist life? Jaroslava Moserová doesn't think so.

They were grabbed by mistake in the chaos of battle. As Rumsfeld said last week: "If you don't want them for intelligence, and you don't want them for law enforcement ... then let's be rid of them...
...Most of Guant?namo's 598 detainees are indeed al-Qaeda terrorists. But, as U.S. authorities are finally conceding, the lovelorn Khan?and perhaps as many as 100 other captives?simply aren't. They were grabbed by mistake in the chaos of battle. And last week U.S. officials for the first time reluctantly admitted that this was the case. As Rumsfeld said last Tuesday: "If you don't want them for intelligence, and you don't want them for law enforcement ... then let's be rid of them...
