...release of the Iraq Study Group's??report gave me hope that the U.S. will move back to a more cooperative foreign policy [Dec. 18]. In the shock following 9/11, the U.S. Administration stepped into a trap laid by al-Qaeda. Five years later, civil rights are restricted the world over, Islamic radicals have gained strength, and the so-called war on terrorism has produced more hostile fighters. I hope it is now understood that bombs don't spread democracy, whether in Iraq or in Lebanon. Real strength means you reach out to the other side and work...
George Clooney's??longest-running relationship with a nonfamily member has ended. Yes, Hollywood's perma-bachelor did manage to commit, to a nearly 300-lb. Vietnamese potbellied pig named MAX, for 18 years. Max, 19, died peacefully at Clooney's Los Angeles home earlier this month. "He got me in a lot of trouble, that pig--scared the hell out of a lot of delivery people too," an emotional Clooney said days later at the premiere of his newest film, The Good German. Clooney first bought Max for his girlfriend, actress Kelly Preston. Preston left for John Travolta; Clooney...

Of all the stories out there, why did Jared's land on Oprah, get a book deal, help push Subway sales up 18% in one year--why does it persist in the pop lexicon seven years later? Or, more to the point of anyone in the business of selling ideas (manager, fund raiser, coach, parent): How do you get your message to resonate as loudly as Jared...
James Dyson--inventor, self-promoter and Britain's??most famous vacuum salesman--constantly seeks minor irritations. If the batteries in your hand vacuum go dead just when you need it, you plug it in to recharge and grab a broom, right? Not Dyson. If pet hair clogs the vac and ruins its suction, you open it and clear it out. Dyson embarks on a research project. To him, these issues aren't minor, and they're not irritations. They're business opportunities...
