...sitters--not to mention a just-for-pets room-service menu with treats ranging from rawhide to steak tartare. The Inn at Perry Cabin in St. Michaels, Md., specializes in gourmet dog biscuits. And if your dog takes a liking to the designer doggie bed at the posh Hotel Lancaster in Paris, the management will ship a replica back home...
...equipment. They found nothing, and now Mohammad is demanding "material and moral compensation from the UN," and an apology to him and his country.

And a gang of thugs wanted to kidnap Victoria Beckham, a.k.a. Posh Spice, now - that's like stealing someone's Enron stock. Even weirder were the public debates. Last year we were arguing about cloning and stem-cell research. This year, we pretended to argue about things we agreed upon long ago.
