...While far less has been written about Walt and Mearsheimer’s latest work, an examination of the book shows that it is not like the original essay in all respects...
...latest mop-up job is a toughie. During a deposition of plaintiffs in a corporate malfeasance case his bosses want to be settled quickly, the firm's top litigator, Arthur Edens (Tom Wilkinson), has gone nuts, cavorting naked in a parking lot. The most superficial familiarity with The Parallax View and other political-paranoia movies of the 70s - or with the crimes of EnRon and other big companies - will cue the viewer to expect corporate dirty tricks at the root of Arthur's frayed mental state. The two men will find ruthless adversaries both in the corporation's chief counsel...

So what was the 61-year-old filmmaker doing sitting in an airport lounge in Danang this week, watching himself lighting incense during a temple visit on local television news?

And now an Indiana prosecutor is investigating whether Glenn Murphy Jr., 33, who recently resigned the chairmanship of the Young Republicans, began oral sex with a sleeping...
...economic patrons like China, the members of Congress fear that Burma's generals may very well keep up their repressive ways, as they did back in '88. In the meantime, Burma's underground activists are asking for continued resistance from the nation's embattled populace. The latest effort, slated for three evenings this month, instructs Burmese to bang on pots, pans and other metal objects at 7:02 p.m., 8:01 p.m. and 9 p.m. - all auspicious times that add up to the number nine so beloved by Burma's military brass. Organizers hope the cover of night will embolden...
