...groom is a handsome black man, scion of a family that is far more conventional and bourgeois than the bride's family, and especially the bride's sister, Kym (Anne Hathaway). Rachel's wedding is Kym's first, brief venture back into the real world after a long stint in rehab, and she's the weekend's wild card - estranged from her family, given to solipsism, unpleasant truth-telling that may not be truthful at all, and bad (or at least embarrassing) behavior, which tends to be more cringe-inducing than liberating...
...manager Lou Piniella's sixth trip to the playoffs since 1990, the year he led the Cincinnati Reds to the title. In all that time, he hasn't gotten back to the Series. Here's a guy who has won everywhere he's been (can we just exclude that stint in Tampa, where God would have lost with those Devil Rays?), reversing the fortunes of the Reds, the Seattle Mariners and now the Cubs.

From the Caucasus to Damascus, it seems, France is back...
...contrast between the two leading candidates seems to offer the voters a clear choice: Livni, 50, is an elegant but often humorless lawyer who did a brief stint in Europe as a Mossad agent. She is committed to seeking peace with the Palestinians, based on a two-state solution, and she is admired by U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, among others, for her level-headedness and tenacity. A mother of three who lives in a modest Tel Aviv apartment, Livni's image as "Mrs. Clean" resonates with Israelis tired of the sleaze associated with Olmert, the target of long...
