...debacle is far from over. On Thursday, the first batch of comments to reach Karen Thurman, the head of Florida's Democratic Party whose name is on the proposal, was negative. Democratic members of the Florida House of Representatives had already released a statement saying that they are "opposed to a mail-in campaign or any redo of any kind." On Wednesday, Geller reiterated that Florida's delegates be seated and released a poll of 600 Florida Democrats that found that one in four would not vote for the Democratic nominee for President if Florida was disenfranchised.

...power of this enormous cache of personal data is evident from some of Interpol's recent actions. In January last year, 11 people presented their Cypriot passports at Monterrey airport in Mexico. The numbers that flashed up on Interpol's database revealed that these documents came from a batch of 850 blank passports stolen in Cyprus; it turned out that the men were Iraqi citizens trying to slip into the U.S. Last April, masked gunmen executed a jewelry heist in Dubai.

Chris Dodd supporters had, it seemed, severely miscalculated by not eating...

Think this batch of scenarios will provide the basis for the next unbearably dull horror flick? Think again. “The Orphanage,” directed by Spanish newcomer Juan Antonio Bayona, is frightening, no doubt. The gloomy tone present throughout the entire film, the camera movements that crawl creepily around edges and corners in anticipation of jolt-inducing scenes, and spooky childhood games and lullabies will provide thrill-lovers exactly what they seek. But viewers will also come away...
