...making its way to that neck of L.A.'s suburban sprawl. And in a town where none other than Brad Pitt has made distinctive architecture as necessary as a personal trainer (Pitt interned at Gehry's office in 2004), the truck is regularly hired out for glitzy parties. (This past week, it handed out ice cream sandwiches at a Fox Studios event featuring actress Zooey Deschanel.) The business is doing so well, in fact, that Case regularly hears from unemployed former schoolmates. "People I went to grad school with, they're not working, so they'll call me," she says...
...quickly built a reputation as an idea guy; he held a series of "idea raisers" around Florida, and the conservative Regnery published his subsequent book, 100 Innovative Ideas for Florida's Future. As speaker, he pushed dozens of those ideas through the house, but few of them made it past Crist's desk. For example, Rubio pushed for radical tax reforms that would have virtually eliminated property taxes; he had to settle for Crist's relatively modest cuts.

(See pictures of Kristallnacht...
...question of how authorities should interpret Germany's anti-Nazi laws is increasingly complicated. In the past, courts have banned everything from model airplanes bearing swastikas to postcards showing Hitler's picture. Even anti-Nazi symbols have been considered criminal: two years ago, the owner of a mail-order business faced a fine for selling T shirts and buttons with crossed-out swastikas on them, until a federal court overturned the ruling...
