Meanwhile, Saddam's game is to showcase Iraq's cooperation. Compared with the harassment inspectors encountered in the 1990s, Iraq last week set a pattern of spontaneous assistance, unlocking doors, handing over documents. Saddam let photographers shoot images of fruitless inspections that gradually took on a somewhat silly air and made Bush's hasty criticism look unfair. Iraq's President scored p.r. points in the Arab world for his willingness to endure humiliating intrusions even into his palaces. Although the U.N. teams studiously refused to disclose any findings, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said, in contrast to Bush, that "Iraq...
...flashback to a literal cliff-hanger: the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) clinging to a precipice and falling, perhaps to his doom. Then, on with the story! That's how sure of himself Jackson is. His grand notion was always to film the entire trilogy in one gigantic 15-month shoot, and to make of it three separate but seamless movies, each one minutely, imaginatively faithful to Tolkien.

"I'm afraid they might affect my interpretation of the role," she says. On her way to a photo shoot midway through Sophie's run, though, she can't resist a peak at a couple of clippings posted to an Opera House message board, and she beams with delight at the headlines. (The accolades for her acting are especially gratifying: she'd like a non-singing role someday.) The photo session lasts for more...
...Crimson needed a lift after a sub-par first half that saw junior forward Peljto shoot 3-of-11 from the field, the offense commit 13 turnovers and the team allow Central Connecticut to fight itself back from an early 12 point deficit...
