...equally significant that the devil, at least so far, isn't spitting fire. Had Saddam been taken in a pressed shirt, well-groomed, standing tall, spouting defiance, the Americans would have a new problem on their hands. A dignified Saddam being manhandled by imperialist troops could well have become a rallying figure not just for former Baathists, but for Arab nationalists in Iraq and outside it. Whatever posture Saddam takes in whatever tribunal he appears in, he will likely never live down that image of him scruffy, defeated, opening his mouth for the doctor like a good...
Jerry Rowland feels the dragon breathing down his neck. He's the CEO of National Textiles, a T-shirt maker in a state that has lost more than 37,000 textile jobs since the U.S. lifted quotas on Chinese imports two years ago. Unless Rowland's North Carolina workers suddenly become competitive with Chinese counterparts who earn just a few dollars a day, he fears his employees will be next. The plainspoken Southerner ticks off what he regards as China's unfair advantages: excessive government protection, an underpriced currency, cowed and underpaid workers, exports dumped below cost. If Washington...
...much of her premakeover existence, Tammy Guthrie, 41, a mother of three in St. Petersburg, Fla., was a drab, weary homemaker in sweat pants and a T shirt. Then the Hollywood fairies intervened. They gave her a bright porcelain smile, a sassy California hairdo, a neck lift, a face-lift and, at least for a while, a bold new attitude that revved up her relationship with her husband Wally.

Jude Law keeps all the shirts he has been killed in. And he has been killed rather a lot, often quite horribly. There was a bashing with an oar, a climactic shootout and immolation in a garbage-disposal unit, to name a few. The fake-bloodied shirts seem like an apt, if slightly macabre set of trophies for his career to date, since Law has built a career around playing mesmerizing bullies. But the garments may be ironic talismans because, really, what most of Law's fans want to see is the man with his shirt...
...pictures don't lie, exactly, but in person, Law is rather more chipper and unassuming. He can't quite seem to get all the buttons of his shirt into their corresponding holes, and his pants sit well south of the top of his undies. He makes an unabashed bid for the devoted-dad-of-the-decade title, showing off pictures of his three kids, Rafferty, 7, Iris, 3, and Rudy, 18 months, and chortling over their Christmas-present lists. (Spoiler alert, Rudy! You're getting a toy car.) For a looker, Law is unnervingly eager to please...
