Clinton's speech was effective in part because she didn't pretend otherwise. The photos said lovefest - his tie matched her suit and his arm was around her like Donnie and Marie - but her words subtly signaled that she was entering the tent of a once (and possibly future) rival solely to concentrate fire outward. She reminded a crowd long on anti-war voters that only three times in her 40 years of political life has a Democrat won a presidential election. "We cannot let this moment slip away," she said emphatically...

...driving has been cited as a likely factor in fatal accidents from coast to coast, prompting more than 20 states so far this year to consider banning the activity.

Joel Schumacher's joyless Batman & Robin, in which Clooney legendarily donned a bat suit complete with rubber nipples, left fans feeling abused. Studios turned their attention to fantasy literature like Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings. But when Spider-Man bested two wizard movies and a Star Wars prequel in 2002 and X-2: X-Men United broke $200 million at the box office in 2003, hand-drawn heroes swung back into favor. The joke in Hollywood now is that...
