...million investment in Afghanistan, saying the objective was not just to make money, but also to help industrialize the country. "If you plant a tree you can't expect to have fruit the first day. But if you don't plant at all, you will never have fruit." That sentiment is shared by Shakib Noori, p.r. director of the Afghanistan Investment Support Agency, the country's business-licensing body.

Formerly, to my delight, Hollywood seemed immune to this phenomenon, and starlets brazenly flashed their collective implants to the world at every venue possible. Now the anti-cleavage sentiment is so strong in fashion that even L.
