...theirs. (Her request is granted by an entertaining Sean Hayes of “Will and Grace” as Wayne, the talk of the tenement because of his new fangled convection oven). Meanwhile, three generations of the peculiar Burns family pile into an aging station wagon and slowly and uncertainly make their way to the apartment of their estranged sister, daughter and granddaughter. Along the comic journey, we get to know Joy (played at the perfect acerbic pitch by Patricia Clarkson), April’s hypercritical and sardonic breast cancer-stricken mother who smokes pot and poses nude...
Putin could also suffer from U.S. support of another Russian titan, not of oil, but of the media: Vladimir Gusinsky, former owner of the TV station NTV.

Authorities denied allegations from leftist militants and some politicians that the fugitive was executed while in custody in order to score points with U.S. President George W. Bush in advance of his Oct. 18 visit...
Thirty-three people were killed in a shoot-out with army officers in front of the presidential palace. Fourteen more were killed when a mob of angry demonstrators set fire to a gas station. When 30,000 fervent demonstrators descended on the Bolivian capitol—which, in a stroke of tragic irony, is named La paz (“The peace”)—they came with a list of 72 demands on president Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada. The first demand was for him to leave office...
