...point here is not to find a new culprit to blame for the start of the conflict, but rather to admonish the dishonest proposition in the U.S. media that Israel justifiably responded to an unprovoked act of aggression from Hamas. That simply was not the case. And by presenting a fraudulent timeline of events, each media outlet holds responsibility for fundamentally altering how the conflict was perceived...
...party's brand, which have included visits to glaciers, more distance from George W. Bush and a new logo based on a tree. But back at Labour, fighting between Brownites and Blairites continues unabated. Bill Clinton - who botched his own handoff to Al Gore - was brought in to admonish delegates to "stay in the future business, and the people will get it"; a sensible warning, but probably insufficient to rein in the discord. The truest note of the week was struck by someone in Brown's inner circle, who should be enthusiastic about being on No. 10's threshold...
Most Germans would probably welcome lower taxes. But Gerhard Schröder is preaching against it.

...conductor at the podium, Gelmetti, 58, is a master at eliciting strong emotions - from his musicians, who he'll admonish to play al dente when he wants short, crisp notes. And from his fans, who adore this mini-Pavarotti with an almost pantomime performance style. "Some people think that he milks it a bit, but he's got this great warmth as soon as he steps on stage," says former SSO artistic administrator Tim Calnin, who helped bring Gelmetti to Australia for the first time in 1993. "He waves and smiles at the audience like he's greeting friends...
