...wonderful gift for rendering social conventions hilarious, "Shall We Dance?" is bound to tickle the most staid viewer. It makes abundant, admittedly effective use of stock comic devices and characters. Eriko Watanabe cuts a droll figure as the experienced but caustic and somewhat unattractive dancer whom Sugiyama agrees to partner in an amateur competition; Naoto Takenaka hams it up as a painfully self-conscious colleague who dons a wig and hurls himself with fiendish gusto into the rhumba; Sugiyama's two fellow dance-pupils--one short and hyper, one big and docile--offer some great moments of physical comedy. Amusing...
WASHINGTON, D.C.: FBI agent Jerry Campane told the Senate campaign finance panel that Charlie Trie, a restaurant owner in Arkansas, had dipped into a $905,000 payment from a business partner in Asia known as Mr. Wu to reimburse himself for a $220,000 donation he made to the DNC, and to pay back other associates who made similar contributions.

They seek a willing, understanding partner, be it Dr. Kevorkian or another like him, to give them moral support when, after all else has failed, they end their suffering. I salute all the doctors brave enough to challenge the law in order to assist those who seek their help. HERMINIA GASKIN New York City...
...partnership with their old friend Giroir to line up U.S. investors for the family's Asian ventures. Giroir, 58, had been a risk taker ever since he made his mark as Arkansas's first big-time securities lawyer two decades ago. As the Rose Law Firm's managing partner, Giroir helped hire Hillary Clinton but was then ousted by her and other partners after some of his outside deals began to conflict with Rose's interests. By then, Giroir already knew the Riadys and was a board member of Worthen National Bank, which they owned jointly with the investment firm...
