...each other to find out all of this information if not for the iPod. It’s like a dream: All the music you own (or, if you have the iPod Touch with wireless Internet, all the music you could ever want and then some) is in the palm of your hand. Constantly. Since its launch in October of 2001, Apple has sold over 140 million iPods, with sales quadrupling from 2003 to 2004, and again from 2004 to 2005. The iPod isn’t the only digital media player walking the streets, nor was it the first...

Representative Tom Cole of Oklahoma, chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, happened to be at a fund raiser for Mahoney's opponent in Palm Beach County, where Mahoney lives, the morning of Mahoney's press conference, and he wasted no time in attacking the alleged $121,000 in hush money given to Allen.

Palm Beach County GOP chair Sid Dinerstein is happy he still has a seat to the event, he said. Since 2006, the area has seen four city and county commissioners imprisoned for corruption charges; the Foley scandal; a still unresolved Aug. 26 judicial election in which voting ballots briefly disappeared; and now the Mahoney affair. "The voters, they are waiting for a natural leader," Dinerstein said. Or at least one who can manage to stay...
...What was the impetus behind “The Ghost in Love”? JC: I love 1930s screwball comedies. The writer-director Preston Sturges is one of my heroes and movies like “Sullivan’s Travels” or “Palm Beach Story” should be included on every space capsule that’s sent out into the heavens to show creatures on other planets who and what human beings are and what makes them wonderful and odd.When I started this book I wanted to write a screwball comedy based...
