Looks like MADONNA'S stuck between rock music and a hard place. Warner Music (recently sold by TIME's parent Time Warner), her long-time record label, has sued her over Maverick Records, the boutique label they co-own. The partnership expires this year, and one side is supposed to buy out the other. Warner claims that Maverick--whose biggest success was Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill in 1995--has lost more than $60 million since 1999 and demands Madonna repay $92.5 million before she buys the label. Madonna's side says Warner miscalculated Maverick's earnings and hasn...
...Dean? It was early in the primary season, and most of America had yet to figure out who he was. The droves of acolytes grew as summer turned to fall, drawn by the image of Dean as a maverick.

But retired U.S. appellate court Judge Laurence Silberman, the panel co-chair, is a Nixon-era friend of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's and Vice President Dick Cheney's. Panel member Henry Rowen, a Hoover Institution scholar...
...political opponents. Roh was a surprise winner of the 2002 presidential election; the liberal human-rights lawyer who campaigned as a political outsider and dedicated reformer was swept into office primarily by young voters eager for a change. His inexperienced administration has been hapless at times, and his maverick efforts to root out corruption among politicians and businessmen have gained him plenty of enemies in the Establishment. The impeachment "is nothing less than a coup d'?tat," seethes Im Jong Seok, a member of the Uri Party, a group of reformist lawmakers loyal to Roh. "It's a wrecking...
