Swinton is chief counsel for the corporation. One of the lawyers has a breakdown of sorts and Clooney is sent to calm him down.
Thereby hangs the tale. He won't be calmed and is claiming the corporation is guilty.
If you think it's going to be boring you're wrong. It's a nail biter. Clooney and Swinton are good. So is the rest... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Djack40) http://alternatebrill.yuku.com/topic/1517 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 05:20:19 GMT http://alternatebrill.yuku.com/topic/1516/t/The-Uncle-Al-Election.html Op-Ed Columnist
The Uncle Al Election
By GAIL COLLINS

When I was a kid in Cincinnati, there was a local children's TV show that always featured a race. Little boys and girls ran around in circles for what seemed like a very long time, until the host threw up his hands and yelled: "Everybody wins!"

"Uncle Al," said my brother, Gary.

The participants did not necessarily enjoy the... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ricarda1) http://alternatebrill.yuku.com/topic/1516 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 11:27:29 GMT http://alternatebrill.yuku.com/topic/1515/t/Bill-Clinton.html Bill Clinton campaigns for Hillary in Ky.

I can recall that day in the 1930s when a "news" (sic) magazine appeared in Washington, D.C.; it was called Newsweek: meant to be a counterbalance to Time Magazine's uncontrollable malice. In due course the two became sadly alike as Vincent Astor morphed into Henry Luce: Was it something in the water? I once asked Henry Luce why he called Time a news magazine when it was simply Uncle Harry's means of... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Djack40) http://alternatebrill.yuku.com/topic/1514 Mon, 24 Mar 2008 16:40:08 GMT http://alternatebrill.yuku.com/topic/1513/t/Diet-Myths.html We sort through the conflicting, confusing even ridiculous advice.
Low-fat! Low-carb! Eat all day! Don't eat after 8! Finally, the truth about controlling your weight.

Myth No. 1: Don't eat after 8 p.m.

The theory: You burn up the food you eat earlier in the day, while late-night calories sit in your system and turn into fat.

The reality: Calories can't tell time. "Your body digests and uses calories the same way... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Djack40) http://alternatebrill.yuku.com/topic/1513 Wed, 19 Mar 2008 01:01:15 GMT http://alternatebrill.yuku.com/topic/1512/t/Monkey-shines.html

I saw it coming as soon as Tim Russert cornered Hillary Clinton into naming Vladimir Putin's heir. She dodged, ducked and plunged into the now famous: "Med, vay, deva, whatever." Nobody thought the worse of her. In fact, it drew one of the few sympathetic murmurs in the debate. Russian names are just not something most Americans can do. And if the blogs and... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ricarda1) http://alternatebrill.yuku.com/topic/1508 Tue, 11 Mar 2008 14:13:33 GMT http://alternatebrill.yuku.com/topic/1507/t/Swans.html
