They got everybody to the Congo peace table except the ones who really matter. After six weeks of haranguing over which rebel groups got to sign where, the document that is solemnly being called the "Lusaka Accord" bears all the big names: Congolese president Laurent Kabila and his backers in Zimbabwe, Angola and Namibia, plus two rebel groups (and one splinter group) with their backers, Rwanda and Uganda, witnessing. But TIME chief of correspondents Marguerite Michaels doesn?t give peace much of a chance until all the soldiers lay their guns down. "I?m not optimistic," she says, "because there...
...head here) and sweet, studious Leigh Ann (Katie Holmes). When Tingle threatens to frame her for stealing an exam, Leigh Ann counts on two pals to bail her out: her best friend (Marisa Coughlan, quite funny as a carefully histrionic tyro actress) and the Depp-ish, droolworthy class rebel (Barry Watson). Before you can say oops, they have Tingle trussed to her bedposts and, the kids think, in their power. There are maybe six good lines, and many more dramatic chances wasted.

E!'s True Hollywood Story is tart and eager to dish dirt. Compare an Intimate Portrait on Natalie Wood, filled with warm family reminiscences, with E!'s dark narrative of despair and drugs that pulled the series' second-highest rating. "Some of our stories end happily, some don't," says...
...make the usual feeble attempts at halting Russia?s economic dissolution. Suddenly he?s got a war to win, and it?s a war that Stepashin has lost before. In Dagestani, a provivce that borders on Chechnya in Russia?s mountainous (and mostly Muslim) north Caucasus region, a rebel force is trying to join its Chechen neighbors in achieving a de facto independence from Russia and becoming part of Chechnya. Russian forces have begun attacking the rebels ? pooh-poohed by the official Russain news outlet as "bandits" -- with artillery and missile strikes. And Sergei Stepashin is in Dagestan, trying...
