...proposed factoring in U.S. energy needs when reviewing sanctions against Iran and Libya. In addition to Exxon Mobil, two other oil giants, Conoco and Phillips Petroleum-each a $25,000 gala donor-have long opposed the sanctions, which deprive them of markets. Conoco president Archie Dunham, an old Cheney pal, visited him March 21 to press the case. Big Oil saw the task force's proposal as a victory, though hopes of lifting sanctions were dashed last summer. Congress voted to renew them...
...Herriman played as well with verbal poetry as he did with visual. Puns, alliteration and copious phonetic wordplay fill the balloons and boxes. Krazy in particular has a remarkable patois like you've never seen before, combining Shakespearian sentence construction with strange malapropisms.

Mayer was slow coming around too; Kelly didn?t become a star until he was loaned to Columbia for "Cover Girl," where he was paired with Rita Hayworth and, behind the scenes with an old Broadway pal (actually a young one, since he was 19 at the time), Stanley Donen. Off and on, mostly on, for the next decade, Kelly and Donen would shape their film?s dances, then their dances and direction. They co-directed "On the Town," "Singin? in the Rain" and "It?s Always...
