...quietly named Cipel his special assistant on homeland security. Although it was just four months after 9/11, Cipel did not undergo an extensive background check. Cipel had served as only a low-ranking officer in the Israeli navy and had no counterterrorism expertise. Despite his thin qualifications, he received a $110,000 salary. When reporters started asking questions, McGreevey refused to order a full vetting of Cipel and wouldn't make him available for interviews. After it was revealed that Cipel couldn't even obtain federal clearance to see top-secret data because he is a foreigner, he left...
...business," she says. "On the years when I'm not there, I'm sitting at home going, 'I'm so glad.'" She's careful to work her babe traits, wearing for an interview supertight jeans and a snug top with flirty ties at the shoulders. She's as thin as an iron poker and sits twice as straight.

...fight scenes?which is to say, the movie?are as impressive for their inventiveness as their fluidity. Just when you think nothing new can possibly be done with swords, shields and wirework, action coordinator Tony Ching offers soldiers clinging to thin green trees, hurling hand-carved, hollow bamboo spears that whistle through the air like artillery shells. Sword fighting is old hat for Zhang Ziyi now, but Kaneshiro plays like he was born to the bow; maybe he's been taking archery lessons from Orlando Bloom. Lau, whose Mandarin had to be dubbed for the film, suffers in an underwritten...
Here are a few numbers to chew on with 14 weeks to go in the presidential campaign: a thin plurality of Americans, 49%, thinks the U.S. was wrong to go to war with Iraq. A slightly larger group, 52%, believes the country is on "the wrong track." And, by a tiny fraction more (53%), Americans have decided it's "time for someone else to be President."
