...June Carter, princess of the singing Carter Family. Carter was Cash's polar opposite: sun to his shadow, a pixie to his wraith, as chatty as he was withdrawn, a natural comic at home in the limelight - whereas he seemed to have been dragged on stage to testify to the crimes and heartbreaks in his songs. (As she well knew, having co-written ?Ring of Fire? for Cash.) Reese Witherspoon captures Carter's raised-in-showbiz canniness, and with it a woman's no-nonsense resolve to get her man suited up for salvation...

So President Bush watched in amusement on Thursday as an aide to South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun walked in front of live television cameras and plunked a sheet of vertically folded paper on the podium as Roh (a Korean name that is pronounced "No," a boon to nay-saying anti-government protesters) gave a long and rambling answer at the two leaders' news conference in the ancient Korean capital of Gyeongju. Bush staffers around the room eyed each other merrily...
