When Ann Coulter published Slander last year, she didn't just score a surprise No. 1 best seller; she also discovered an entire new audience hungry for her notoriously sharp-tongued, unabashedly right-wing rhetoric. Now she's back with Treason (Crown Forum; 355 pages), and as TIME's Lev Grossman discovered, she has in no way mellowed with...
...TREASON YOU SAY, "LIBERALS' PRINCIPAL CONTRIBUTION TO THE WAR ON TERRORISM HAS BEEN TO BILL THEMSELVES AS A CORRECTIVE TO 'JINGOISM.' THEIR REAL GOAL IS TOO APPALLING TO STATE OUT LOUD." CARE TO STATE IT OUT LOUD? They are rooting against America. I don't think there is any other way to explain hysterical claims of a civil-liberties emergency in this country every time John Ashcroft talks to a Muslim. No serious person thinks that we are in the middle of a civil-liberties crisis. We have just seen thousands of fellow Americans slaughtered by legal immigrants to this...

His two films as writer-director, Lord Love a Duck and The Secret Life of an American Wife, are revered by comedy cultists...
...after a merciless government crackdown. Police, soldiers and pro-Mugabe gangs beat up opponents. Two people died, at least 400 were arrested and dozens more filled hospitals in the capital, Harare. Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai was detained for a day and then rearrested later in the week on fresh treason charges. Zimbabwe's Lawyers for Human Rights said it had received reports of arbitrary detentions, assault and torture. While calls for the biggest demonstrations "since independence" failed to spark - soldiers wearing no to mass action T shirts took up positions on Harare's street corners just to make sure - business...
