...will try to tar Blair as the ideologue. And events are delivering a powerful hammer for pounding that point home: the European Convention, which next month will propose ways to revamp European institutions. Euro-skeptics are already portraying the convention as a cabal of creeping federalism. Last week the tabloid Sun published a poll showing that 81% of Britons don't know a new European treaty is being considered; when informed, 84% want to vote on it. Blair won't permit a referendum; it's the last thing he needs. But opponents think the refusal leaves him vulnerable to charges...

...Whoever finds her.' I thought, Absolutely, yes, yes, yes." CSI, a forensics-lab cop show, was inspired by Barry Scheck's testimony in the O.J. Simpson case.

...midst of a career resurrection few thought he would ever see. In 1999 Davis was the president of Arista Records, the label he founded and had run for 25 years, when Arista's German parent, Bertelsmann Music Group, pressed him to retire. After months of tabloid speculation about how Davis--whose ego is a frequent subject of industry jokes ("Why does Clive Davis like CDs more than tapes?

...resigned as Finance Minister during Schröder's first term due to - you guessed it - disagreement over the need for reforms. Lafontaine argues that the SPD was defeated because it was not socialist enough. "It's called neoliberalism wrapped in red cotton wool," Lafontaine wrote in the Bild tabloid. "The reason for the disaster of my party is the policy it has pursued since 1999." The left wing's position has been greatly weakened since the election, though, because the need to appease the CDU will force the SPD to adopt more conservative policies. The election aftermath has done...
