...tons of garbage collected, like the one suffered by industry leader Waste Management in the first quarter of this year, can be characterized by a company vice president as "pretty rough." Simply put, it's good to be in the trash business.

...Senators and Congressmen over the past two weeks, many insist they have been told nothing new in behind-closed-doors briefings and remain unconvinced of the imminent danger. NATO members and Arab allies have been openly skeptical of the case for going to war; Germany's Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder has made rejection of any U.S. "adventure" in Iraq a central plank of his reelection campaign.

...Murder by Numbers--written by Tony Gayton and directed by Barbet Schroeder, and the best by far of the new bunch--Bullock's Cassie Mayweather is a tenacious sleuth whose strategies reflect a trauma in her own life. With men she's the sexual aggressor, jumping on her new partner and, when the party's over, literally pushing him out of bed. When she builds a case against two boys for a vicious killing, she wants to destroy the slick one (Ryan Gosling) who reminds her of her brutal ex-husband, and save the sensitive one (Michael Pitt) who reminds...
