...Both her political pedigree and her personal warmth and accessibility played well in an election where gender issues were never far from the surface. In the first round of voting on December 15 election, she garnered 45.96% of the vote, compared with the 25.41%, for conservative millionaire businessman Sebasti?n Pi?era Eche?ique, whom she defeated 53.49% to 46.50% in the January 15 runoff...
...Overall, the pairing seems to be a good one. Palm is bringing some of the warmth of the Palm OS to the coldly businesslike Windows Mobile platform, and getting a ride to the top of the corporate ladder in the process. My guess is that Palm will sell plenty of these, and that Microsoft will be happy about it. That is, unless they don't get into the legal mire that Research In Motion's BlackBerry has been in for a while - in mid December, mobile e-mail software developer Visto sued Microsoft for patent violations, particularly pertaining to Windows...
...productions: one modest, one large, both grand. The 1968 Darling of the Day had a lovely score, but this adaptation of Arnold Bennett's novel Buried Alive practically was: it closed after just 31 performances.

The new Pope has stepped onto the world stage with grace, warmth and an understated clout, qualities that make him our choice for European Newsmaker of the Year. A man often described as methodical and contemplative - even downright shy - has created a charisma all his own, one that seems to defy our turn-up-the-volume, look-at-me times...
...remains the loyal servant and wife, yet she is so embittered by the abuse of her husband Iago, that her decision to betray her mistress (with whom she also spars to comic effect) can be interpreted as a desperate attempt to find acceptance and emotional warmth. The play even manages to give Bianca (Julia C.W. Chan ’05), more dimension than that of an innocent whore; here, she is painted a desperate idealist, capable of more passion than her one-dimensional exterior amiability in the original work would have initially indicated...
