...relationship with a man 12 years her senior that began when she was still a teenager, her first trip to the Oscars, their breakup, her grief over his death in 1997, the making and release of Titanic, a list of every movie she turned down in its wake (she's too discreet to name them), the beginning of her first marriage and her bewilderment over what Hollywood wanted her to become. (Interested publishers are advised not even to bother asking.) Several years ago, worried about leaving the diaries behind as she globe-hopped from one job to the next...

However, Gavelis?...
Lieberman, leader and founder of Israel's surging right-wing Yisreal Beitenu party, will be the man everyone wants to talk to in the wake of Tuesday's election for Israel's 120-seat Knesset parliament. Israelis demanding security and stability helped his party earn 15 seats and finish a strong third to electoral stalwarts Likud and Kadima, even as detractors slammed Lieberman as a hardliner and a virulent anti-Arab racist. Since no party was able to claim a simple majority, either Likud or Kadima will likely need to form a governing coalition with Yisreal Beitenu, ensuring Lieberman...
