...hear it that matters." It's no surprise to Smith's colleagues that she's won plaudits for dignity and calm. If there's been a criticism of her performance as a Minister (she held important jobs in the Education and Trade Ministries before joining the Cabinet as chief whip), it's that she can be calm to the point of boring. But the former economics teacher from Malvern who grew up in the British midlands and who represents a parliamentary constituency there also managed to avoid the factionalism that divided Labour. While Blairites and Brownites were fighting like cats...
...doing drugs. I don't know how you can get a grip on this." LaBeouf says it's hard to find people who share his challenges. "It's not like you can go to a therapist, 'Hey, remember the time you showed up and Harrison was doing the whip?' It's that weird feeling that, Oh, man, now you've gotta bring your A-game and there's no playbook. The emotional cost is high. Your life becomes secondary to your work." He doesn't date much.

Then again, Mainstream is a very conservative group that might prefer an immediate split; and if the Communion disintegrates, it is not Sugden who could be known forever as its last Archbishop of Canterbury. Says Bishop Idris Jones, Primate of the Scottish...
...house. And they'll feel quite at home as these self-proclaimed kings of "Concept-Art-Heritage-Rock-Covers" move swiftly through their set. With their razor-witted reinterpretations, AC/DC's '70s classic T.N.T. becomes Nam June Paik, named after the grandfather of video art; Devo's Whip It barely misses a beat as an anthem to Abstract Expressionism, Drip It; while Joan Jett's I Love Rock 'N' Roll has even more attitude as I Shot Andy Warhol ("I'm Valerie Solanas, I'm a no hoax, baby"). But art students beware one of the final tracks. In this...
