...Smoke Screen Your article about how Hollywood glamorizes smoking was illustrated with photos of Scarlett Johansson, Terrence Howard and Jack Nicholson lighting up in recent films [April 30]. You did not mention that all three were playing criminals. We don't see a lot of heroes smoking in films anymore. We do, however, still see lots of movie heroes solving their problems with fists and guns. That's a bigger problem than cigarettes. William Flanagan, New York City...
Just ask Shell or Yukos or Ukraine. Don't even mention it to ExxonMobil. When he's not skating, Medvedev is deputy chairman of Gazprom's management committee and general director of Gazpromexport, Gazprom's export arm, which accounts for 80% of the revenue of the world's second largest energy company and supplies a quarter of Europe's natural gas--and 100% of Belarus'. Medvedev's remark hit home for his fellow hockey buff and adversary--the forward who had tripped him up so uncouthly, also known as the President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko.

Even when we bared our disgusting, slutty, and totally irresponsible sex lives to the world, we didn’t get so much as a mention on IvyGate.com or a column in the Boston Globe. But the column helped us pick up girls, right? Not exactly, the one girl DA got through the column had a moustache and none of the 17 guys Peter hooked up with had the beautiful, full bodied, nose-tickling moustache he was looking...
...show up plastered. You’ll just make us jealous. On moving stuff around—use your common sense here. A chair here and there is fine but definitely not a desk or anything heavy that will be really distracting. Not to mention actual hell for whomever has to put it back. There’s whispering and then there’s “just-as-loud-as-talking whispering.” We’re sure the gossip is juicy like whoa, but we don’t care. Times are rough...
