Really now, isn't working tirelessly toward a shared goal with your allies wonderful? Who wouldn't share in the joy of E.U. foreign affairs czar Javier Solana, German Chancellor Angela Merkel or even - yes - President George W. Bush, as they rhapsodize about the way in which the U.S and the leading West European powers have stood shoulder-to-shoulder trying to get Iran to give up its nuclear ambitions? Of course, these negotiations have gone nowhere, because Tehran rejects their very premise. (What nuclear weapons?) No matter: the Bush Administration has, for once, won praise from pundits delighted...
...point is said to be a revolutionary capability to search as well as translate audio and video sources. But details are scarce: Thomson, the French company heading the endeavor, even shut down its website last week after details of the potential services set tech tongues wagging.

Ned took her places most women don't go, or can't, or wouldn't if you paid them. She joined an all-male bowling league. She ordered lap dances at strip clubs. She went on an Iron John--style men's retreat. She even spent three weeks in a Catholic monastery, in which she found that the ancient question "Ginger or Mary Ann?" was still being...
Frankly, we wouldn't want that guy lurking around our house either. YOKO ONO is raising a protest about Chapter 27, a movie starring JARED LETO as John Lennon's assassin, Mark David Chapman. The Beatle's widow checked to see if she could prevent filming of the façade of the Dakota in New York City, the spot where Lennon was shot and where she still lives, but filmmakers obtained the necessary city permits and started work there last week. "She thinks the whole concept is terrible and offensive," says an Ono spokesman. "The filmmakers are fulfilling an assassin...
