Panama may not be Semel's last bullet. Analysts have suggested Yahoo! could benefit from merging with AOL, a division of Time Warner (TIME's parent), or a linkup with Microsoft, which lags in search. Either deal would help Yahoo! take on Google more aggressively. One thing that won't change: the quirky Yahoo! culture. Early on, founders Jerry Yang and David Filo set up a free cappuccino bar for employees and have followed up with annual company-wide gifts, ranging from MP3 players to sleeping bags. Google has topped the coffee bar with free meals and a host...
...unemployed with his family in their house in Hawaii, he spent all this past summer working--first on We Are Marshall and then on this fall's Vantage Point, with Forest Whitaker and William Hurt. To fit both of these into his break, he had to persuade ABC and Warner Bros., the studio behind Marshall, to make a lot of compromises. (Fox's hair may have been a little red--as it is for the movie--for the last few episodes of Lost last season.) He also had to convince Red Dawson, the coach he played in We Are Marshall...
...Warner, a World War II veteran, is hard to read perhaps because he is genuinely torn. A staunch defender of the military who has long deferred to the Commander in Chief, his deference is waning on the Iraq war.

Democrats eager to keep political momentum may accept the softer but still critical language in Warner's resolution. Late Wednesday, key Democrats joined forces with Warner. Republicans feeling the pressure of voters' anger over Iraq can support his bill under the shelter of his seniority and military expertise. Warner so far has 11 co-sponsors, five of them from his party; in all, he needs...
...into a politically risky filibuster. Russ Feingold of Wisconsin has introduced a bill that would block funds for the war, and has drawn support from some on the left. For its part, the White House is resisting a compromise, working to repeat the success it had in watering down Warner's military-tribunals bill. When I told Warner some Democrats are worried that this might happen again, he said, "There is a case history out there that justifies that concern." He closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair and recalled the intense, all-day negotiations last autumn in which...
