...appeared on TV as Cardinal Wolsey in Showtime's The Tudors, leads something of a double life. Back in his native New Zealand, this son of three generations of importers of French vintages planted his first five acres (two hectares) of grapes in 1993. Neill has poured heart and soul not only into such successes as The Piano and the Jurassic Park movies but also into the alluvial-schist soil of the South Island of New Zealand, where his great-grandfather settled in 1859 and where Neill helms Two Paddocks, which is dedicated to the quest for what he calls...

Although Roddick stepped down as co-chair of The Body Shop in 2002 (while staying on as a consultant), she was still accused of selling out, both the company and her principles, when The Body Shop was sold...
...goes on. The blog “Classically Liberal,” written by a brave soul named CLS who provides no contact information on any of his several blogs, has this to offer in the midst of a strident criticism of Caldwell: “She even lisped her way through a nationwide television appearance.” As one of many hurtful barbs in the piece, the attack is not noteworthy. But when commenters on the post slammed the author for using terms like “bimbo” and “stereotypical blond?...
