...grooming habits--Aniston's impressive traits as an actress are often ignored: her unfailing comic timing and her surprising range. Friends, NBC's impeccably prepared weekly meal of comfort food, seemed to be rediscovered by audiences after Sept. 11, and what they found was Aniston's Rachel, pregnant and torn between two suitors; in the cliff-hanger season finale, she gave birth. Soon thereafter, Aniston scored an Emmy nomination. She has been likened to Mary Tyler Moore, who as Mary Richards created a similar mixture of yearning, courage and frustration. "Jen doesn't like to overwork things," says Friends...
However, justice is necessary for peace, and the courts in war-torn countries are often inadequate—corrupt, under-funded, understaffed—to handle cases of this magnitude. International criminal law—which enables accused war criminals to be tried in other countries for “crimes against humanity”—is a relatively new field, and the most notable recent advancement is the establishment of a permanent International Criminal Court (ICC). Yet much work remains to make international justice work. International law needs to be further developed before it is clear what...
...ethical dilemmas are genuine but predictable. (Should we report politicians' affairs? Hound grieving widows? Cover African news?) And the show is a clip reel of white-collar-drama cliches: the tracking shots of newsies speed walking down hallways to show how goldarned busy they are, the family man torn between home and office, the single woman married to her career whose eggs you can all but hear expiring one by one.

...exhibition at Leeds Metropolitan earlier this year. While conceptual artists like Tracey Emin and Damien Hirst grab the headlines, painters like Campbell and Swann are continuing a very British tradition of urban realism that stretches from Atkinson Grimshaw's 19th century nightscapes to John Piper's records of war-torn London. Duncan Swann feels part of an "urban landscape" movement that includes people like Campbell, who mentions among his influences Jock McFadyen, Frank Auerbach and David Hepher, from earlier generations. Hepher is known for graffiti-scrawled tower blocks, McFadyen paints rundown roadside bars and sports stadiums, while Auerbach obsessively records...
...denied). Yes, perhaps I would have liked to be Messier - the all-powerful king, propped up by a conniving board until his company's stock began to fall, at which point, in a moment of lucidity as sudden as it was suspect, the board reversed itself. Today, I'm torn between two visions of Messier. First, I see a Shakespearean character: he rose swiftly, lost everything, was betrayed by his peers and stabbed in the back by his own corporate family, eviscerated by the market and misunderstood by all. But he will quickly rise again - stronger, more determined and bent...
