...Meanwhile, this summer may be one of your last chances to catch Diva royal Tina Turner in full-fledged concert: she says that the upcoming "Twenty Four Seven" tour will be her last. But don't fret: Turner and her bionic legs aren't retiring from music all together. Instead, she's focusing on "smaller-less is more" projects. Diva-in-training Christina Aguilera hopes to fill the vacuum, headlining her first amphitheater tour this summer...
Perhaps it is Bolek Z. Kabala who is selectively picking data to support his arguments, instead of Al Gore '69 whom Kabala lambasts in his editorial notebook (Editorial Notebook, 5/10). If Kabala really cared to "know all the relevant data," he would have realized that in fact the majority of scientists across the world agree that some form of climate change is occurring and that it is anthroprogenic in nature...
...rather than actions, and despite his stepping down, even Haider himself does not seem to be able to remain silent for a while. He called French President Jacques Chirac a "pocket Napoleon." He accused Alfred Gusenbauer, head of the moderate Social Democrats, of eating with a hammer and sickle instead of fork and knife.

...with specific goals, a million marchers and motherhood behind them, the mothers are in a significantly stronger position than the Promise Keepers "dads" of 1996. They too had hundreds of thousands of marchers, but they made the critical error of getting "sad" instead of "mad."

The moms have effectively channeled their anger towards achieving specific goals. They are bonded by a single purpose, not an nebulous concept...
...years, but this week, with hilarious solemnity, Indiana University completed a formal investigation of the coach's "pattern of inappropriate behavior." The university might have fired Knight outright, as Dwight Eisenhower and George C. Marshall might have fired Patton. The university might have considered intermediate steps - prefrontal lobotomy, say. Instead, Indiana decided to fine Knight $30,000, suspend him for three games next season, and give him one no-kidding-this-time "last chance" to behave himself. If Knight had been losing basketball games, of course, he would have been cut up for bait long ago. Forbearance follows the money...
