...sublimely funny Ninotchka, the film of hers that is most accessible to later audiences. But by then she was an anachronism, a piece of crystal under glass in the museum of antiquated acting. Europe, her biggest market, was closed when World War II began. As for the boys in uniform, they wanted heat from their stars, not Garbo's dry ice.

A traditional marching song, Real Men, is sung by rising female singer Jinjoo?the only performer on the recording who isn't a soldier...

Hence the Democrats' netting a former CIA officer in Illinois and a former FBI agent in Minnesota, whistle-blower Coleen Rowley, who testified about mistakes the bureau made before Sept. 11.
