Thornton seems to be caught in what the Kerry-Edwards campaign is calling a "middle-class squeeze" as the duo tries to win votes in swing states like Ohio. How real is it? There's supposed to be an economic recovery under way. But the numbers paint a confusing picture. GDP grew 3.9% in the first quarter, and corporate profits rose 1.7%. Most important, payrolls have grown by 1.3 million jobs since January. Consumer confidence is up. But job growth slowed in June, and the new ones haven't been enough to meet the supply of 8.2 million...
Knightley isn't being modest. She just doesn't believe in kidding herself.

And they will keep on doing it until it doesn't work, because they're in business to beat...
...this scenario had been real, I would be dead. Instead, it was just another day of hellishly realistic training for federal air marshals, the armed, plainclothes agents who patrol the skies. In this case, the bullets were made of paint; the terrorists and passengers were actors. And I was standing in as a federal air marshal in training--the first journalist ever allowed into the program's secure facility to drill alongside recruits...
