...Hercules spawned perhaps a hundred peplum epics, so called for the short skirts the guys wore. All were inspired by Greek and Roman mythology; Reeves, a former Mr. America, Mr. World and Mr. Universe whose previous claim to fame had been a costarring role in Ed Wood's Jail Bait, went on to star in a Hercules sequel, then as Aeneas and Romulus.

In addition to its pacifist message, Jaccaci’s campaign will emphasize environmental consciousness and will be run entirely by volunteers. “The point is not the vote...
...that outcome is not likely. If Bush ruled one out now, he might encourage Libby to seek leniency from Fitzgerald in his sentencing phase in return for cooperating with the prosecutor. In his first comments after the verdict was announced, Fitzgerald left the door open to such negotiations: "Mr. Libby is like any other defendant. If his counsel or he wish to pursue any options, they can contact...
