...Pelosi may have few good options in the current dilemma. If she decides to replace Harman with someone other than Hastings, she could easily offend the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), which has insisted that Hastings' seniority entitles him to the position. But some aides have also rumored that there might be another solution: installing a former panel member, Georgia Rep. Sanford Bishop, who is also African-American, in place of either Harman or Hastings. Whatever happens, one thing is clear: after her Murtha debacle, Pelosi - and the Democrats, for that matter - cannot afford another misstep so early in her tenure...

The role of a twenty-something copyist, played by the lovely Diane Kruger (“Troy”), is a device created by the film’s writers to see into the last days of an increasingly reclusive Beethoven...
...exists within its student body. Anyone who walks onto our campus can appreciate this diversity simply by observing the variety of posters that adorn kiosks, bulletin boards, and other public spaces. With such a range of passionate opinions, it’s almost inevitable that some poster campaigns will offend students with different views.
