...Italian newspaper published a photograph last year of Berlusconi receiving communion at the 2000 private funeral in Tunisia of former Italian Prime Minister Bettino Craxi. Giuliani for his part was much more bold in his defiance of the ban, lining up for communion (offered in the pews by a priest) at the St. Patrick's Cathedral Mass during the Pope's visit to New York in April. New York's Archbishop, Cardinal Edward Egan, later publicly scolded the former mayor and presidential candidate, saying they had "an understanding" that he would not take Communion. A spokeswoman for Giuliani said...
...shelter environments the lighting is not that great to begin with," says Pam Black Townsend, a shelter volunteer at the SPCA/Humane Society of Prince George's County in Maryland, whose photo book of black dogs raises money for the shelter www.pgspca.org. "They are hard to photograph and some people say, with black dogs, their eyes don't stand out as much and so they are harder to read. That makes people a little bit cautious." Townsend's advice - shoot them outside and in indirect light, and if that fails, Photoshop the pictures to bring out the details...

Officially, the bruised Irish Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Brian Cowen was treated with sympathy at the Brussels summit, and there was universal recognition that the Irish vote had to be "respected".

...Eastwood's portrayal of the battle is also essentially accurate. Flags of Our Fathers zeroes in on the soldiers who hoisted the U.S. flag on Mount Suribachi. None of the six servicemen seen in Joe Rosenthal's famous photograph--the iconic image depicts the second flag-raising attempt; the first wasn't visible to other U.S. troops on Iwo Jima--were black. (Eastwood's other film, Letters from Iwo Jima, is told largely from the perspective of Japanese soldiers.) Eastwood is also correct that black soldiers represented only a small fraction of the total force deployed on the island...
...photograph accompanying "A Brief History Of: The GI Bill" contained what appeared to be one black and 10 white individuals [June 9]. Ironically, this represents exactly the kind of disproportionate access to GI Bill advantages that were available to returning GIs. The sad truth is that while the government was willing to pay for college and housing loans, it was unwilling to change the laws that prevented most nonwhite GIs from taking advantage of this money. In fact, the GI Bill in 1947 "threw open the doors of élite academies" only to the white masses. The same was true...
