...town overrun with tanned, taut former prom queens, America Ferrera, the shapely actress who plays frumpy secretary Betty Suarez on ABC's hit TV show Ugly Betty, was a surprise Best Actress winner, and her show's Outstanding Comedy nod also caused a stir. Ferrera, who looked altogether lovely collecting her award in a purple frock, said she hears from girls who are inspired by Ugly Betty, a character who "truly brings a new face to television." Girls, what you see is the face of a woman in Hollywood who consumes carbohydrates. And that is a beautiful sight, indeed...
...been—rings hollow. Saddam’s status as one of this and last century’s most ruthless tyrants has not been brought into question, nor should it ever. Instead, al-Rubaie’s prediction seems laughable because Saddam’s execution was overrun by the endless sectarian violence that has come to dominate this new page in Iraqi history, which may be just as dark as Saddam’s.

Members of a house open list, for example, would respond quickly and savagely should their list be overrun with irrelevant e-mails. Because tracking candidate e-mails and personnel lists is nearly impossible, we favor self-regulation through which those turned off by e-mails can voice their opposition through complaints to a campaign—or even through the ballot box. Failing retribution, there?...
...three of their Massachusetts locations. Why should shoppers not be able to buy wine from a grocer’s Cambridge location but have no trouble finding it on the shelves at its Boston store? We find dire predictions that Question One will cause the Bay State to be overrun with underage winos and drunk drivers unconvincing. According to the “Vote No On Question One” website, 15 and 16 year old clerks who work at grocery stores cannot be relied upon to vet buyers’ ages. But radical increases in underage drinking in neighboring...
