...involved writers, immunity challenges and Paris Hilton, there was the Loud family. A public-television crew spent hundreds of hours in 1971 with a "typical" California family that proved to be anything but. Midway through the 12-hour cinema-verité series, paterfamilias and executive Bill Loud and wife Pat decided to split up. Their son Lance was casually introduced into the gay social scene of Greenwich Village in what would remain one of the most matter-of-fact treatments of a homosexual TV "character" for decades. The series raised what seem like--in the Big Brother and MySpace era--quaint...
Rubino says that Noriega, too, wants to go home to Panama. He says the former strongman, who now walks with a stoop and is 73 (or 69 according to the birth date cited by Assistant U.S. Attorney Pat Sullivan in court documents), wants to spend his final days with his grandchildren as an "elder statesman." Rubino wonders why his client can't just go home to face the music. "He committed the heinous crime of purchasing an apartment in Paris," Rubino, says in a mocking tone. "That's more important than murder and kidnapping?" Noriega's POW status would...
...Q400 until it couldn't get deliveries of the CRJ-700, a 70-seater regional jet, from the Canadian company. So Horizon grudgingly ordered 12 turboprops, and the airline hasn't looked back. "We found out very quickly that the Q400 was a completely different animal," says Pat Zachweija, until recently a top executive at Alaska Air Group. Horizon, with 33, has the most Q400s of any fleet in North America and expects to have 48--70% of its fleet--by 2009. "The economics were there," he says. "And as fuel goes up, we just look smarter and smarter...
...seem to discourage Huckabee who, in an interview in the club's driveway, argued that he can appeal to New Hampshire voters. Riding high after a surprisingly strong second-place showing at the Ames Straw Poll in Iowa, Huckabee is trying to build momentum and even drawing comparisons with Pat Buchanan's populist run in 1992. He pointed to his popularity in Arkansas, a state that's 62% registered Democrat - though it has voted twice for Bush. When asked if he might skip New Hampshire to focus on more conservative states like Iowa and South Carolina, as suggested...
Social conservatives have historically been overrepresented in Iowa politics: Iowa is the state, after all, where Pat Robertson won the 1988 straw poll. But in 2004, Karl Rove's strategy yielded 3.5 million newly registered Evangelicals nationally. Those born-again voters have been underwhelmed by the 2008 GOP front runners: a flip-flopping Mormon from Massachusetts; a pro-choice, thrice-married New Yorker; and John "Agents of Intolerance" McCain...
