...usually playing guys who are cocooned in, and sustained by, an utterly unwarranted belief in themselves. Ferrell knows, as surely as his characters don't, that his body is nothing to boast about. So to display it as if it were worthy of a Muscle & Fitness cover is to tell us that they are as unself-conscious as they are self-unaware. Ferrell might be the fellow who ran naked across the stage at the 1974 Oscar ceremony, inspiring this ad lib by David Niven: "Isn't it fascinating to think that probably the only laugh that man will ever...

...project like this shape and life. Janet Michaud designed the package, Crary Pullen researched and selected the sweep of photos within it, and Jackson Dykman executed the maps and graphics.

...Iraq. Our Arab allies are jumping ship, apparently as fast as they can. At the opening of the Arab summit on Wednesday, Saudi King Abdallah accused the U.S of illegally occupying Iraq. The day before, the leader of the United Arab Emirates sent his foreign minister to Tehran to tell the Iranians he would not allow the U.S. to use UAE soil to attack Iran.
