President Bush may be seen as a unilateralist, but at the??Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, his style never goes it alone. At the annual trade talks, he and 20 other heads of state don the traditional garb of the host city, which last week entailed wearing South Korean hanbok in Pusan, below. Next time the U.S. is host, we predict polychrome cowboy boots...

Not only are cockpit doors locked, but many pilots carry guns, and a cadre of armed air marshals, state troopers and agents from 80 federal agencies routinely hop on random flights.

And no wonder: two days from now, he and Matthew Broderick are set to start previews of Neil Simon's The Odd Couple, the play's first revival in 40 years. Broderick and Lane, whose singularly fizzy chemistry made the musical The Producers a colossal hit in 2001, have been rehearsing nonstop for the past three weeks. Lane will play the slovenly Oscar Madison, Broderick the famously fastidious Felix Unger...
