...lame children's novella called Red Dog. With his fans clamoring for more of the same, and detractors eager to prove him a one-hit wonder, it's little surprise that he told a reporter in April 2001 that writing after Corelli was like "being stood stark naked in Trafalgar Square and being told to get an erection." Britain's Daily Telegraph went so far as to call the release of his new novel "the adult equivalent of the launch of a Harry Potter book."

Paris officially welcomes pigeons as "the only sign of biodiversity in the city center...
...million marchers for a demonstration last February. The group's website sports an unflattering photo of Bush, complete with instructions on how to photocopy it at 141% magnification to produce the right dimensions for an effigy. Plans call for toppling a mesh statue of Bush, Saddam style, in Trafalgar Square on Nov. 20. The President will be kept as far away from protesters as the Secret Service can manage--he won't join the Queen for her carriage ride after all--but as a U.S. official says, "There's a lot of fear of surprises...
