...glamorous contestants competing on America's Next Top Model share the same dream - to become stars of the catwalk. But the 12 writer-producers who help create one of TV's most successful reality shows have more modest ambitions, and to achieve them they are strutting their own version of the catwalk - a picket line outside the series' production studios in West Los Angeles. Early this week the entire writer-producer staff of Top Model walked off the job, alleging that the show's executive producers are hindering their efforts to join the Writers Guild of America and collect...
...With its matte and glossy black finish and hints of chrome and brushed aluminum, the CU500 may well be LG's most attractive model yet. Its look and high-tech innards definitely suggest that it's geared towards a fashionable male audience. I liked how easy the CU500 was to use.

...acts--including Bono, Barbra Streisand, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and the Dixie Chicks--tinkered with their schedules and submitted to Bennett's requirements.

Dell may be forced to grind it out like everyone else. "When you're that big, how do you keep growing like that?" asks Roger Kay, president of research firm Endpoint Technologies. "Dell has to reset Wall Street's expectations, but the computer industry is still seen as young. It's hard for a tech company to face Wall Street and say, 'Look, guys, this...
...left that drive hopeful that it could serve as a model for Lebanon, where parties are often feudal arrangements of patrons and clients, based on ethnic or religious affiliations. The first drive had been held in Achrafiyeh, Beirut's most upscale Christian neighborhood. Holding the second in the Bekaa would allow us to reach more Sunni, Shia, and Druze Lebanese-Americans - a chance to demonstrate one of the American ideals I love most: that our diversity is our strength, and that we value all citizens, regardless of race or religion. Those ideals, of course, often aren't honored; the most...
