...Twilight is the story of a teenage girl, Bella (Kristen Stewart), who falls in love with a vampire, Edward (Robert Pattinson). When Stewart and Pattinson took the stage, the deafening squeals of the Twihards - Meyer's ardent readers, chiefly young and female - reverberated through the San Diego Convention Center's 6,500-seat Hall H. With Meyer's 7th book due out in early August and the film opening in December, the Twihards are in a lather - a phenomenon not lost on the film's stars.

From where the presidential candidate stood, atop a stage onto which he had taken a long walk alone, he could see tens of thousands of people crowded onto the Seventeenth of June Boulevard, named for a 1953 uprising against the East German government...
...speech was the public capstone of a weeklong foreign trip that has amounted to an audition on the world stage for Obama. As such, it also sent a message to critics who say the 46-year-old freshman Senator from Illinois is not strong enough or experienced enough to take the helm of the world's last remaining superpower at a time when it faces a new kind of enemy...
