...Trippi wouldn't be the first person you'd think of to run it. Maybe it is his style, or lack of it. He would shuffle about in worn-out shoes, wrinkled pants and ensembles that never matched, armed at all times with a Diet Coke and a vocal, if rambling, opinion. Howard Dean's campaign manager doesn't seem to go an hour without talking to a reporter, and for weeks wore a microphone around-the-clock for a documentary on him that was scheduled to air on CNN this spring...
Baker is convinced Paxil is what killed her daughter, and that's what she'll tell a U.S. Food and Drug Administration panel meeting this week in Bethesda, Md.

In the latter, she played the real-life title character Kawashima Yoshiko, who spied for the Japanese during the occupation, and Mui was cold steel personified. She slapped men's faces, spat out her scorn at those who would...
