...known for the yellow shirts they wear in their protests, is a loose alliance of groups opposed to the return of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra that includes businesspeople, Bangkok's urban middle class and royalists.

...Three generations, two adorable girls and a dog - no First Family has lived with the weight of hope and hype that has landed on the Obamas. Clothes they wear fly off the shelves. Dog breeders from Germany to Australia couldn't keep up with the demand for Portuguese water dogs after Bo debuted. Michelle is the first First Lady to make Maxim's hottest-women-in-the-world list. (She's No. 93; it probably wouldn't be proper for a First Lady to come in any higher.) Cameras with lenses that can count her pores from three states away...
