...Trouble With Harry. Playing a bohemian painter, when that occupation could seem a gentleman's calling, Forsythe is surrounded by a trio of Vermont eccentrics, all of whom believe they may have killed Harry. Forsythe, naturally, is the cave of common sense they retreat to for sage advice ("You're not supposed to bury bodies whenever you find them - it makes people suspicious") and comfort (he woos and wins the young Shirley MacLaine, in her film debut). Hitchcock called on Forsythe twice in the '60s, as a man accused of murder in the 1962 TV drama I Saw the Whole...
Reports about the melting ice caps are distressing, but for the most part climate change remains abstract. The poor polar bear has been trotted out as the tangible face of global warming so often that we're beginning to see "polar bear fatigue." How about bringing the effects of Arctic melt close to home, as in what it will cost? A new study does just that, and the results are alarming, not just for Arctic dwellers but for all of us. According to lead author Eban Goodstein, Ph.D., over the next 40 years Arctic ice melt will take an economic...

In Florida, conservative insurgent Marco Rubio has raised more than $3.4 million and is leading Governor Charlie Crist, the presumptive Republican candidate, in the polls. To see the potential dangers of the Tea Party groundswell, the GOP leadership need look no further than the debacle...
...into Iran - makes it easier to camouflage illicit items. About 400,000 Iranians live in Dubai, and about 8,000 Iranian companies are registered there, including two major banks, Bank Melli Iran and Bank Saderat Iran, both of which are currently under U.S. sanctions on the allegation that they're funding Iran's nuclear program...
...deep roots in Dubai's economy pose a further problem for any more expansive sanctions regime. There are Iranian stores, restaurants and companies in almost every building in Dubai, and tens of thousands of Iranians fly regularly to the emirate, many simply to enjoy its free-wheeling lifestyle. "We're talking about tremendous volumes [of exports] in Dubai," says Lisa Prager, former assistant deputy secretary of commerce, who dispatched the first attache to Dubai in 2002 to try to stop military smuggling to Iran; as a Washington attorney, she now represents companies that have been charged with transshipping illicit goods...
