...Especially when you have a late-night show that doesn't have the money everybody else does or an independent production company, you're forced to look at other ways of doing things. There's these 23-year-olds who grew up with YouTube, Google, Final Cut Pro. They shoot, they produce, they edit, they direct and star. We call them predators...
...traditional ballads of hard work and lost love. Take "Contraband in the Border" by Valentin Elizalde, one of the thousands of drug ballads or narco corridos that are played in cantinas and parties from the mountains of Mexico to the immigrant ghettos of Los Angeles. "There was a big shoot-out/With 14 bullet-filled bodies/And the American government,/took away the marijuana" go the lyrics, as tubas and accordions drone out the melody to the rhythm of a German polka. In November 2006, gunmen ambushed and killed Elizalde and took out his manager and driver while injuring his cousin...
...best performances of the year en route to a 80-56 victory over Holy Cross on Tuesday night at Lavietes Pavilion. Harvard held the Crusaders (4-6) to just 30% shooting—much improved from Sunday, when the Crimson gave up 80 points and allowed Vermont to shoot over 60% from the field in the second half. “We were really disappointed with that game and knew we had to do better [tonight],” said senior co-captain Lindsey Hallion, who finished with 15 points and six assists.

During the late 1990s, he and Thaksin served as cabinet ministers in the scandal-plagued government of Prime Minister Banharn Silpa-archa. Samak and Thaksin were publicly...
This is when running for Presidentgets really hard. A bleak, windy Sunday morning in Fort Dodge, Iowa. The local roads are ice. As John Edwards enters the community-college cafeteria, his campaign workers are picking up rows of chairs--to make sure the media don't shoot the empty seats. Edwards trudges through his stump speech--the least engaged I've ever seen him--and specifically asks the sparse gathering for questions about the issues he considers important: health care, global warming, poverty, the economy. There are none such. The questions are odd, off point. A Native American accuses...
