...feeling, this common feeling that we are here just to serve our peoples." Bush returned the compliments, thanking Berlusconi for his "friendship and his wisdom," and calling him "a man of sincerity and principle, who speaks his mind and keeps his word." He even took a rather weak stab at saying a few words in Italian...
...fight, drive and run, but none of the skills. One sequence, the movie's lamest, is either a demonstration of this theory or an undercutting commentary on it. As they stagger through the woods searching for a cell phone Saul has tossed away, Rogen and Franco take a stab at a slapstick routine but possess neither the precision nor the physical resilience to make it funny. (Nor the luck: Franco needed three stitches after he bumped into a tree.) The actors flounder like two Stooges in desperate need of a third...

On July 14, Miguel Caballero, the world's only producer of "designer bulletproof fashion," started selling his high-security garments at posh London department store Harrods.

New York City Mayor David Dinkins was offended, and talk-show host Montel Williams...
...object you may be carrying can be used as an improvised weapon. Scratch the attacker with keys, jab pencils into his eyes or ears, jab his or her upper lip with a credit card or ID card. If you are wearing high heels, these can be used to stab your attacker’s foot or hand. Use anything you have to your advantage. 4. Beware of some defensive moves that can also cause injury to yourself. If you use your fists, try hitting so that your pinkie faces the surface; a traditional punch can injure your knuckles. Avoid kicking...
