There's still no ready answer to that question. In the days that immediately followed, Brussels wore the dejected and incredulous air of the billionaire rejected by the chorus girl. In public, there was hurt talk of "respect" for the vote. In private, there were twinges of panic. At a summit in Brussels the following week, Europe's leaders agreed to give the Irish four months to find a way forward; the Union will return to the Lisbon treaty in October. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, whose country holds the rotating E.U. presidency, has set a deadline...
...When a grown women (like the Catherine Keener character in The 40 Year Old Virgin) approaches an Apatow hero, she'll often induce not passion but panic attacks, and need to take the lead, be aggressive, help him learn how to cope in the land beyond his obsessions and fears. (In Step Brothers Alice has that job, and she assumes it with missionary zeal.) Women are the Other to these six-foot kids. Inside, the Apatow movies say, men are really lost boys looking for a Wendy. Or, ever better, another Peter Pan - a rebellious youth who'll never grow...

Instead, he says, the U.N. and the U.S. tried to assuage al-Bashir and his men, telling the Khartoum government, "Don't worry about the prosecutor. Just accept the peacekeepers and nothing will happen." Moreno-Ocampo says the big powers feared that the ICC's obsession with Darfur would get in the way of a peace deal between the politically dominant north and the oil-rich south that ended two decades of civil war in Sudan. The Sudanese took their cue and decided to reject notification...
...musicality. And what is most important, she glows on stage.'' All accurate. But he adds, ''At 21, she already has nerves of steel.'' Not quite so, according to Guillem. Before a performance she suffers from le trac, or stage fright: ''No more legs. I go limp, and panic inside.'' It does not show. She commands a wide repertory, including the obligatory Swan Lake, but what shows her off best is a rather outrageous theater piece by Maurice Bejart. In Arepo, Guillem performs five roles, with suitable costume changes, that display her personal range as well as the gamut of ballet...
