...voice too deep and rich for his age and, in his one nude scene (Heigl doesn't get one, as Mr. Skin will tell you, except for a gynecological closeup late in the film) a cute tush. But by Hollywood beauty standards, he's so on the lower side of ordinary, he almost doesn't belong in movies. That's one good thing about Apatow: he subverts the medium's inherent aesthetic fascism - survival of the cutest - and puts funny people center-screen. His mission to devolve the notion of the leading man continues in this fall's Rogen-Apatow...
...three Democratic candidates - Clinton, Edwards and Obama - all support stem cell research. On the GOP side both Giuliani and McCain do too. The conservative candidates - Romney, Brownback, Huckabee and likely candidate Fred Thompson - firmly oppose such research, which is anathema to their pro-life supporters. As Brownback said during the Senate's April vote on the issue, "This would say we can treat humans at the youngest age of their life continuum as property and that we will use Federal taxpayer dollars to destroy them and to do research on them...

It seems impossible for any side to win the war in Iraq. If the fighting were about land or money, maybe it would be easier for the U.N. or powerful nations to intervene and negotiate a settlement. But this war is about dominance and will. The Western countries involved have the technology and firepower, while the jihadists have the manpower and a willingness to die. I don't see how President...
...last few weeks, however, Williams has been intriguingly proactive, doling out penalties to a couple of notable thorns on either side of the debate, and possibly finessing a decent attendance for Lambeth 2008. Speaking to Time on a cool May morning, a fire burning in the hearth of his study in Lambeth Palace, his London seat, Williams admitted: "The Communion feels very vulnerable; very vulnerable and very fragile." But he insisted, "I don't think schism is inevitable." He said his task was to "try and maintain as long as possible the space in which people can have constructive disagreements...
