...good line of dialogue can make a career. At just 19, Keira Knightley owns one widely quoted multiplex moment. In last summer's Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Knightley dismissed a black-toothed marauder with a metal pole and the trailer-ready line, "You like pain? Try wearing a corset." Now, if all goes according to plan, she will add a second epigram to her name. In King Arthur, which hits theaters nationwide on July 7, she plays Guinevere as a heavily muscled, lethal woman warrior. (Arthur, like Pirates, is a Jerry Bruckheimer production.) When...
Kings Row made Reagan a star. But it was 1942, and Pearl Harbor had brought the U.S. to its inevitable involvement in World War II. Reagan could see very little without eyeglasses, but he had bluffed his way into the cavalry reserve back in Des Moines because it gave him a chance to go riding. Called up by the Army, he was examined by a doctor who concluded, "If we sent you overseas you'd shoot a general." Another added, "Yes, and you'd miss him."

...however, print a picture of the actual beheading of Nicholas Berg, just as we did not publish a photograph of the severed head of Daniel Pearl two years ago.

Musharraf earlier announced that junior military personnel were involved in the attacks on him. MEANWHILE IN BRUSSELS ...

Columnist Charles Krauthammer's "The Trouble with Apologies" [April 26] missed the point. As Krauthammer stated, Franklin Roosevelt did not apologize for Pearl Harbor, Harry Truman did not apologize for dropping atom bombs, and Clinton did not apologize for the Oklahoma City bombing. But those men did not pre-emptively launch a war against another country. By invading Iraq unnecessarily, by misleading the American public about the WMD threat of Saddam Hussein and his so-called ties to al-Qaeda, Bush put American lives at risk and U.S. influence on the line. For that, he owes the American public...
