The guy I'm tied with, Carl Gable, from Norcross, Ga., won the first annual contest and two of the weeklies; I've won three weeklies.

He spoke of an Islam based on rationality and on "Iran's powerful youth and the potential of its women...
...pictures would quickly make their way onto millions of computer screens in Italy and elsewhere. But in an editorial, its editors argued that "the publication of the photographs of [Belusconi's] private parties is not an attempt to judge his morality as an ordinary citizen, rather it aims to show how, as Prime Minister, he is trying to turn the realm of democratic politics into a simple continuation of his friendships and entertainment."
