...just how sensitive their publicly traded corporate parents have become about any issue that could pose a threat to the bottom line. It probably wasn't lost on Paramount executives that about half of the people queried in a USA Today/Gallup poll several months ago had an unfavorable opinion of Cruise, in the wake of his controversial public statements and puzzling behavior such as using Oprah Winfrey's couch as a trampoline while declaring his love for future wife Katie Holmes. And coming just weeks after Disney's decision to drop out of a Holocaust TV miniseries project with...
...think Iran is a difficult country to understand, you're absolutely right. It is a place, after all, that has inspired books entitled "Who Runs Iran?", where Western diplomats hold cocktail parties to discuss how baffled they are, where no one conducts opinion polls (the last person who tried went to prison for producing unwelcome results). Such a climate is unhelpful to those seeking to get behind the contradictory and opaque face that Iran displays to the world. The country presents no shortage of paradoxes. In the past eight years, Iranians have elected both a Kant-quoting liberalizer...
...potential Democratic field, Al Gore (49%), John Edwards (46%) and John Kerry (45%). Her negative ratings (44%) were lower than either Kerry's or Gore's.

Only 3% of those surveyed in the TIME poll said they had no opinion of her, positive or negative. She is the inkblot test of a polarized electorate. In the TIME poll, Democrats overwhelmingly describe her as a strong leader (77%) who has strong moral values (69%). Republicans by and large see an opportunist who would say or do anything to further her political ambitions...
...dried-out cells than plain water does. The Sport Nutrition study says Accelerade beats Gatorade on that score by 15%--important if you're an élite athlete, maybe, but for most of us, not a crucial difference. Also, Accelerade is a bit more expensive and, in my opinion, not quite as tasty as Gatorade, which I sometimes drink just because I like the flavor...
