...life began to appear in locales all over the earth?" Yes! All the time!) Inconceivable, a comic-edged drama about a fertility clinic, looks like it was conceived through an egg donation from Grey's Anatomy. And in E-Ring, Jerry Bruckheimer (CSI) gives us a drama in the Pentagon, for your retired uncle who needs something to watch now that JAG is gone. In it, Dennis Hopper plays an officer. The '60s are officially over...
When Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice phoned Iraqi politician Ahmad Chalabi last week, sources in the U.S. government say she kicked off the conversation with the understatement of the year. "We haven't talked for a while," she said to the onetime Pentagon favorite, who by last year had become a pariah in the halls of Washington. Not so long ago the National Security Council presented the White House with a plan to discredit him titled "Marginalizing Chalabi." He was accused by unnamed intelligence officials of leaking U.S. secrets to Iran. His home in Baghdad was raided...
...company has exploited the Pentagon's openness more effectively, in fact, than BAE, which claims to be the "first truly transatlantic defense company." Since arriving in 1999, BAE has bought 12 defense-related companies in the U.S. and partnered on hundreds of Pentagon programs with domestic firms.

BAE now has almost as many employees (25,000) in the U.S. as in Britain.Ronald acknowledges that the special relationship between the U.S. and Britain is a door buster. When the Pentagon...
...Force's aged refueling-tanker aircraft fleet. The contract, which may be worth $20 billion, was the source of a huge scandal involving Boeing last year over illegal and unethical efforts to land an overpriced deal; Boeing's CEO and CFO lost their jobs, as did top Pentagon officials. That has allowed EADS to get into the game with its own tanker. "The U.S. tanker deal is fundamental to us," says Crosby. He announced the company's intention to assemble the jet in the U.S. should EADS win. EADS will probably partner with a U.S. company, perhaps Northrop Grumman...
...still very small--just 2,000 jobs. Dozens of those 72 positions are recent hires in Columbus. Some are working on used maintenance equipment bought from Texas-based Bell Helicopter. Ask any flyer what Bell was once best known for, and he will have the answer: Bell made the Pentagon's favorite military helicopters. Now EADS is angling to own that spot. Ralph Crosby hopes that before long, U.S. military pilots will have equally strong attachments to EADS...
