...purposeful stride around the stage, was about more than intimidation; it was meant to show that Gore, who constantly vows to "fight" for average Americans and used the word 10 times in the debate, would almost literally do so. By contrast, W. wouldn't play that game. The Texan opted for a slow sashay, winking and smiling knowingly to the audience when Gore ran hot. "We've had enough fighting," said Bush. "It's time to unite...
...wealthy at all? And certainly, if we want to keep children from low-income families poor, it would be best to not educate them at all. We can only hope that Bush will gradually iron out these inconsistencies in his agenda, so that eventually, if he becomes president, only Texan oil billionaires will be able to feed their children.

By the end it had emerged as the festival's biggest surprise, and its heretofore unknown star, Colin Farrell, 24, had critics using words like "James Dean" to describe his performance as Bozz, a rebellious Texan recruit who helps his boot-camp buddies in Fort Polk, La., avoid Vietnam combat. A native of Dublin, Ireland, who dropped out of high school to study acting, Farrell had no trouble trading his Irish accent for Bozz's Texas drawl, but he's finding it hard to keep...
