...vision of tawdriness: blond hair, black skirt, red bra over taut white flesh. She was that odd-lot remnant of the '80s, a Madonna wannabe. But most of the other fans at the Toronto SkyDome last week for the North American opening of the singer's Girlie Show tour were dressed in civvies. For them, the star was only something to stare at. She is not a role model, not after a decade in the spotlight. These days, does anyone wanna be Madonna? Does anyone even wanna see Madonna? Not on the movie screen. Body of Evidence, in which...
...their pitchers a much lower earned-run average (3.15 to 4.75). The Phils were out- everythinged, but they didn't care, because the Braves were out-won. Or worn out.

You feel it when he talks because he's genuine and passionate about what he says - he's not acting," says supermarket attendant Bassam Obeid in central Baghdad. "But this visit is just for election publicity, and 16 months [for U.S. combat troop withdrawal] is an exaggeration." Leila Mohammed, a housewife in Baghdad's Karrada district, also shrugged at the significance...
Senator Barack Obama, the presumptive U.S. Democratic presidential nominee, took his first step onto the world stage Saturday, landing in Afghanistan for what is expected to be a two day tour of a country he has identified as his (and Washington's) most pressing foreign policy challenge. Not that many in the country even knew he was planning a visit. You might call it the invisible man approach to building foreign policy credentials. While security around the presidential palace in the capital was amplified in anticipation that Obama would meet with Afghan President Hamid Karzai, no one at the palace...
