...between his legs [Aug. 27]. Writer James Carney reminded us that Rove brushed aside George W. Bush's failure in bipartisanship because of what Rove called the hostility of the Democrats. Rove also discounted polls that portrayed a damaged American image in the world as politically imprecise. He will spend a little more time with his family of two, cut a bit of Texas brush with his buddy at the Crawford compound and continue to pursue his dream of "a durable Republican majority." "Out of the Picture" Rove shall never be. Celine E. Riedel, Avon Lake, Ohio...
...case, given the sort of money they have to spend, it seems certain that any quibbles over the Weinsteins' cultural sensitivities will be drowned out by the gushing welcomes of Asian filmmakers.

On September 9, Noriega is slated for release from a Miami federal prison, where he spent the past 17 years on drug trafficking charges stemming from the shipment of millions of dollars worth of cocaine from Colombia to the United States. In 1999, he was convicted in absentia on the money laundering...

He says the former strongman, who now walks with a stoop and is 73 (or 69 according to the birth date cited by Assistant U.S. Attorney Pat Sullivan in court documents), wants to spend his final days with his grandchildren as an "elder statesman."
