...Bush Administration has made no secret this week of its frustration with Iran over its slowness to respond to a U.S.-backed incentive package to resolve the nuclear standoff. After President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday that Iran would make a formal response by mid-August - although other officials have suggested it may come sooner - President Bush himself complained that "it should not take the Iranians that long to analyze what is a reasonable deal." European diplomats too have indicated that they expect an Iranian response by mid-July, when the G8 convenes in Russia...
...start of a secret shift in relations between the United States and Saudi Arabia, getting the Saudis off the sidelines and on the field. Bush's meeting with the de facto Saudi ruler, Crown Prince Abdullah, a month earlier, hadn't done it, nor had a stream of U.S. dignitaries arriving in Riyadh, exhorting the Saudis to allow the Americans to interview the families of the 9/11 terrorists or, at least, to provide access to bank accounts that might yield leads to terror financiers.

We seem to be stealing ever more bits of free time throughout...
...movie Thirteen, director Catherine Hardwicke took a less-than-romantic look at the antics of adolescent girls. Now she's taking on another teen with a big secret in The Nativity Story. The film, which could also be called The Passion of the Christ: The Prequel, follows young Mary's life in Nazareth and her journey to Bethlehem with Joseph (OSCAR ISAAC). Taking the part of Mary--the key role, as any Christmas-pageant organizer can attest--is Keisha Castle-Hughes, 16, the New Zealander who swam to an Oscar nomination in 2002's Whale Rider. She has been "fearless...
