...attention like no other cultural figure alive. When he visits Capitol Hill, his movement through the halls is split-timed. His lobbyists feed him tips so he knows, for instance, that Kentucky's Mitch McConnell has a thing for Burmese dissident Aung San Suu Kyi, a Nobel Peace Prize winner who inspired U2's song Walk On. The rest is intuitive. Bono arrives with no security, takes gifts (a leather-bound volume of Seamus Heaney for Patrick Leahy, a framed copy of the Marshall Plan speech for Colin Powell) to suit his host's taste.

Meanwhile, the Crimson struggled to generate quality scoring chances against...
...audience,’ and I said, ‘no, women.’” Schamus says he hopes mothers worldwide will be the voice of this movie. “Brokeback Mountain”’s strategy seems to be working. Already the winner of the 2005 Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, multiple Golden Globe nominations and with more accolades pouring in every day, the film has also experienced box-office success. The film has sold nearly ten times as many advance tickets as another recent Focus Features’ release...
