...recent years, Lancôme has preferred a bevy of faces to a single girl. Diane Kruger and Elizabeth Jagger star in the brand's advertising campaigns, while Inès Sastre has represented Lancôme for a decade.

...Qaeda always invents some excuse, some historical injury to justify its barbarism. Today Iraq, yesterday Palestine and, when all else fails, Andalusia, a bin Laden staple that refers to the Muslim loss of Spain to Ferdinand and Isabella (in 1492!). Various casus belli are served up as conditions change. Only the gullible and the appeasers buy them. Now we're told that the Iraq invasion has increased al-Qaeda recruiting...
