When Kosovo Albanians first took up arms to free themselves from Serb domination in the mid-1990s, Ramush Haradinaj was working as a bouncer in a Swiss nightclub. He returned to his homeland and, on the strength of his battlefield wits and charisma, rose to become the most visible commander of the Kosovo Liberation Army (K.L.A.), losing two brothers and surviving three wounds of his own. After the war, he launched a political party, the Alliance for the Future of Kosova (AAK), and following elections last October, at 36, he joined the ruling coalition as Prime Minister - completing the transformation...
...heavy acting, she stands by, stoic and steaming, as, essentially, a housekeeper in her own house. She hasn't much more to do in the 1939 Island of Lost Men, where the strong man is J.

Felicity's romantic drama did not seem like a springboard to an action series like Alias, whose typical plot has Garner going into a European nightclub dressed like a hooker and blowing something up.

Fernandez also warned that the death toll was likely to rise. Thousands of people, many in their teens and 20s, had packed into the Cromagnon Republic disco to celebrate the end of the school year. The Argentinean rock band Los Callejeros...
...from her first. In 1997 Lopez was married to then waiter OJANI NOA for less than a year. In 2002 the singer nevertheless hired him to manage her Pasadena, Calif., restaurant, Madre. According to a lawsuit Noa has filed, Lopez lured him away from his job at an L.A. nightclub by pledging the kind of long-term commitment that eluded their marriage, vowing never to fire him from the restaurant without "good cause." But, alas, six months into his employment Noa was let go, he says, without reason. Now that he has had some time to stew over his dismissal...
