...whole affair seems to offer proof not only of chaos theory but also of Emily Post's dictum that you ought not to talk about religion--or to be prepared for anything if you do. To Muslims, the drawings were blasphemy, a violation of a cultural protocol not to portray the Prophet. The range of reactions to the cartoon's publication among Muslims and non-Muslims alike served as a reminder of the gaping divide that still exists between the West and much of the Islamic world. In a show of solidarity for their journalistic brethren in Denmark, television stations...

In fact, as Bush had said moments before, the program also includes calls that originate in the United States...
...assassin's dream." Leto, shown here clutching copies of Catcher in the Rye and Double Fantasy, as Chapman did the day he shot Lennon in 1980, co-stars with Lindsay Lohan as a Lennon fan. And yes, the teen idol has packed on the poundage, George Clooney-style, to portray the deranged loner. Perhaps he has seen what a little potbelly can do for a heartthrob's career...
