...Even if you don’t spend one day in prison, a conviction on a drug charge is the equivalent to a life-long sentence,” wrote Scarlett Swerdlow, the executive director of drug law reform group Students for Sensible Drug Policy, in an e-mail. “Youth can forget an education [with] a conviction on a drug charge—no matter the nature or number of the offense. You could have made a mistake twenty years ago, but are ready to turn your life around, only to find that the national government...
With its trademark three-pronged star and celebrated German engineering, Mercedes-Benz has been the brand of choice for generations of celebrities, both actual and aspiring, from the late Pope John Paul II to Scarlett Johansson. It's a brand mystique most competitors can only dream about, and it has turned Mercedes, part of the DaimlerChrysler conglomerate, into an industry colossus with annual sales of more than 1 million cars and revenues exceeding $60 billion...

Experts in Malta debated whether the majority of deaths had been caused by the explosives detonated by the Egyptians...
What made the screen kiss stimulating in the old days was that the consummation was left to occur in the viewer's imagination. Consider the effect if Rhett Butler had carried Scarlett up the stairs and then the camera had followed them into her bedroom to record the next half-hour. As it was, Vivien Leigh's next-morning smile remains one of the most graphically suggestive moments in the history of movies. Usually, directors were clumsier. In Picnic, Kim Novak and William Holden knelt beside the railroad tracks and kissed as a train thundered out of the tunnel. Elsewhere...
