HARPER'S WEEKLY REVIEW
November 11, 2003
Lawyers at the Environmental Protection Agency announced
that they were dropping lawsuits against 50 power plants for
violating the Clean Air Act, because newly weakened
enforcement rules have undermined the cases; the Bush
Administration previously had promised that the lawsuits
would continue after the rules change.
Resident George W. Bush gave a speech before the National
Endowment for Democracy in Washington, D.C., and asked Iran,
Syria, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia to please try to be more
democratic. The president alluded to the fact that the
United States has for sixty years supported dictatorships in
the Middle East but said that, "in the long run, stability
cannot be purchased at the expense of liberty."
Paul
Wolfowitz, the deputy defense secretary, said that
Palestinians should "adopt the ways of Gandhi."

Aims To Bankroll Bush's Defeat In 2004
George Soros
Billionaire philanthropist George Soros says his main goal right now is to get resident George W. Bush out of office in 2004, "and I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is."
"It's the central focus of my life," Soros said in an interview published in the Washington Post on Tuesday, a day after he gave five million dollars to MoveOn.org, a left-wing group dedicated to combatting the US president's policies.
"America, under Bush, is a danger to the world," the 74-year-old Soros declared, adding that Bush is "leading the US and the world toward a vicious circle of escalating violence." Therefore, he said, the 2004 presidential vote is "a matter of life and death."
Soros, worth an estimated seven billion dollars, according to the daily, said Bush's words recall the type of rhetoric used when he was growing up in German-occupied Hungary.
"When I hear Bush say, 'You're either with us or against us,' it reminds me of the Germans," he said.

Won't Use Nude Lynch Photos
Larry Flynt
Larry Flynt claims he bought nude photos of Pfc. Jessica Lynch last month to publish in Hustler magazine, but changed his mind because she is a "good kid ... and a victim of the Bush administration."
"Jessica Lynch is a good kid, she's not a hypocrite or out to fool anyone," Flynt's statement said. "She's just a victim of the Bush administration, who is using her to justify the war in Iraq and force-feed us a Joan of Arc."
Published reports Tuesday said the photos showed Lynch topless, but Flynt's publicist claimed the former soldier is nude in the pictures.
"At this point Mr. Flynt has no comment as to the content of the photographs except to say Jessica Lynch is not wearing any clothes in them," she said.

Loves Opera Based on Him
Jerry Springer
"Jerry Springer — The Opera," the rude and often raucous British musical take on American tabloid television, got two thumbs up from the real Jerry Springer, who called the West End show, "phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal."
Springer spoke at Monday's lavish party following the commercial bow of the $4.2 million musical, which premiered in April at the state-funded National Theatre to rave reviews.
The Chicago talk show host never saw the National's incarnation of creators Richard Thomas and Stewart Lee's musical collaboration, with its tap-dancing Ku Klux Klansmen, wildly foul language and extravagant parade of lowlifes, addicts and miscreants.
But the 59-year-old Springer did catch director Lee's production twice within four days at the Cambridge Theatre, where top tickets are a steep $83.50 — which is high for London.
At the opening night curtain call, Springer joined Brandon on stage following the second of two lengthy standing ovations. Instead of a speech, he offered the simple words, "I'm sorry," as the audience cheered.

Tops Film Threat's 'Frigid 50'
Jack Valenti
The person Film Threat named as the coldest in the entertainment industry should come as no surprise: It's Jack Valenti.
The Motion Picture Association of America president is No. 1 on this year's "Frigid 50," the online film magazine's annual ranking designed to contradict lists of Hollywood's hot and powerful in magazines like Entertainment Weekly and Premiere.
Valenti has drawn nearly universal criticism from actors, writers, directors and film critics for deciding, along with several major studios, to stop sending screener DVDs and videos to Academy Award voters. They argue they're trying to prevent piracy.
Second on this year's list is Cuba Gooding Jr., whose recent critical flops have included "Radio," "The Fighting Temptations" and "Boat Trip." ("Has any one person done so little with an Oscar?" the Web site asks.) Also included are Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, Brittany Murphy and Woody Allen.

Admits Planting Question in Debate
CNN
A college student who asked the Democratic presidential candidates at a debate whether they preferred the PC or Mac format for their computers says CNN planted the question.
The news network on Tuesday acknowledged that a producer went "too far" in telling Brown University student Alexandra Trustman what to ask.
CNN televised the debate, co-sponsored by the nonprofit Rock the Vote organization, last week. It was billed as an event geared to the interests of young people.
CNN spokeswoman Christa Robinson said the cable network regrets the producer's actions. She would not identify the employee.

Charles' Scandal
Newspapers Banned
The French newspaper Le Monde said its November 11 edition was not delivered to news stands across Britain because it carried an article about rumors of a sex scandal involving Prince Charles.
Jean-Pierre Langellier, the London correspondent for Le Monde who wrote the article in question, said the "decision, of a preventive nature" had been taken by distributors fearful of legal action over the publication of the piece.
The article in the Tuesday edition of Le Monde, which hit French news kiosks on Monday, recounted the various twists and turns in the current scandal.
But Le Monde said the legal service for the Financial Times, which distributes the French daily in Britain, said it feared facing legal action stemming from the article and preferred to keep the paper off the shelves.
On Saturday, some 15 European newspapers carrying reports on the scandal, including France's Le Figaro, Italy's La Stampa and Spain's El Pais, were taken off British news stands, Le Monde noted.

Ties First Game Against Machine
Gary Kasparov
Chess czar Gary Kasparov tied his first game against the computer "X3D Fritz" after wrestling with the machine for about three and a half hours.
Kasparov, who was playing whites, agreed to a draw after 37 moves.
The 40-year-old Russian-American will play three more games against "X3D Fritz" at the New York Athletic Club, but he is resigned to the fact that soon chess grandmasters will stand no chance against computers.
The International Computer Games Association and the United States Chess Federation, which will be holding the next games on November 13, 16 and 18, say it is the first time a chess challenge has been fought "in total virtual reality."
The games are being shown live on the Internet at www.x3dchess.com.

Donates $1M to University
Ray Charles
Ray Charles has donated $1 million to Dillard University for the creation of a program about black culture, the school announced Monday.
The donation will create an endowed faculty position and program devoted to the musical, culinary, artistic and linguistic contributions of black Americans, Dillard spokeswoman Maureen Larkins said.
Charles received an honorary degree in May from Dillard, a private, predominantly black school associated with the United Methodist Church and the United Church of Christ.

Lobby Against Ownership Rules
Musicians
In the latest version of musical efforts to promote social consciousness and challenge the government, some rock, blues and country artists have embarked on a tour to fight changes in federal rules governing ownership of newspapers, television and radio stations.
Billy Bragg, Lester Chambers, Steve Earle and other artists on the "Tell Us the Truth Tour" contend the rules from the Federal Communications Commission will make it harder for many performers to get airtime. The musicians are making their case in song in a tour that began Friday in Madison, Wis., and ends Nov. 24 in Washington.
While the tour is meant to inspire grass-roots activism on the issue, some well-known Washington political players are also involved. The tour, which also addresses trade issues, is partly sponsored by the AFL-CIO and Common Cause. Both are pressing Congress to undo the FCC rules, which eliminated decades-old ownership restrictions.
The tour includes stops in Chicago, Indianapolis, New York, Boston, Atlanta, Nashville and Miami.

Trying To Interview
Soldiers Wounded in Iraq
In the past few weeks, as U.S. military casualties have mounted in Iraq, several newspapers, along with E&P, have advocated greater attention to the sorely injured. But how easy is it to talk with soldiers and doctors at the major American hospital housing the wounded?
Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, the chief recovery zone for troops injured in the war, now receives about 20 press requests a day, according to Public Affairs Officer Beverly Chidel.
"Some of them are repeat requests," Chidel said. "Everybody wants something right now and we're trying to get everybody taken care of. [The media] should expect it to take a couple weeks [for press requests to go through.]"
As of Nov. 10, 1,832 troops injured in Iraq have passed through Walter Reed, with about 40 currently in care at the medical center.
Walter Reed allows the press to interview patients who have signed a consent form. Doctors interviewed about a patient's status must sign a separate form.

Leaving CNBC In January
Brian Williams
Brian Williams is leaving his anchor desk at CNBC.
NBC News said Monday that Williams, who will take over from Tom Brokaw at "NBC Nightly News" after the 2004 presidential election, will exit CNBC's "The News With Brian Williams" in January.
The cable network's nightly newscast, renamed "The News on CNBC," will continue with a different anchor, though NBC has not named a successor.
Until he officially takes over "Nightly News," Williams is expected to focus on reporting for NBC News as well as to continue as an occasional substitute for Brokaw.

Fight At The Hard Rock
Slater & Haddon
Actor Christian Slater received stitches for a cut on his head and his wife, Ryan Haddon, was arrested after she was accused of hitting him with a drinking glass during a fight in their Las Vegas hotel room, a spokeswoman for the actor said.
Spokeswoman Kelly Bush said the actor received nine stitches after the Monday scuffle at the Hard Rock hotel-casino, not 20 stitches as police initially reported.
Haddon, a television producer, was taken to the Clark County jail on a misdemeanor battery charge, said Las Vegas police Lt. Juanita Goode.
She was released without bail late Monday, after a mandatory 12-hour detention, Bush said.

Curtain Falls On Broadway Debut
Farrah Fawcett
The Broadway debut of former Charlie's Angels star Farrah Fawcett has been cancelled after a week of previews, the producer announced.
"Bobbi Boland," in which Fawcett played a former beauty queen, had its final curtain call on Sunday, after a seven-day run. The show had been scheduled to open on November 24.
"The play simply doesn't work in a Broadway house," producer Joyce Johnson explained in a statement Monday.
She added, however, that she hopes to produce a new, off-Broadway version of the play in the spring, also starring Fawcett but featuring a revised script.

Bruce Springsteen Day
At the Tides Cafe, the decor was all Springsteen. There were framed photographs of him on the walls, a pennant embossed with his face hanging from a window sash. Album covers — "Born to Run," "Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J." — sat on window sills near the stage, a big-screen TV playing concert videos of Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band behind it. Springsteen T-shirts hung from easels near the stage.
Soon, the gray-haired people began filing in, some in wheelchairs, some with walkers, some walking slowly to their seats. It was Bruce Springsteen Day, and the seats were filling up quickly.
Better hurry. Don't want to miss Ruth Bruer's story about Springsteen's guitar picks showing up in her laundry. Or Barbara Dinkins' tale about answering the Asbury Park Press want ad, only to have a muttonchop-wearing Springsteen open the door. Or Gene Blum's saga of sleeplessness.
In these parts of Jersey, everybody has a Bruce Springsteen story.

Sued By Photographer
50 Cent
The rapper 50 Cent and his record label have been sued for $21 million by a New York Post photographer who claims the rapper's bodyguards attacked him.
James Alcorn alleges in a lawsuit filed in state Supreme Court that he was "assaulted and battered" by seven bodyguards Aug. 27 while photographing 50 Cent, who was shopping in the diamond district.
With the 27-year-old rapper looking on, the unidentified men allegedly slammed Alcorn down on the sidewalk, then loomed over him as he snapped a photo of them. Alcorn claims he suffered neck and jaw injuries.
The lawsuit, filed Monday, accuses 50 Cent and Interscope of "not exercising reasonable care and diligence in the employment" of the bodyguards.

Wants Cure For Diabetes
Victor Garber
It's hard to imagine actor Victor Garber, who plays nerves-of-steel spymaster Jack Bristow on TV's popular Alias, getting choked up over the idea of being able to spread jam on toast.
For Garber, 54, who was diagnosed with diabetes when he was 12, the mere thought was a luxury he wouldn't consider. So when he saw a fellow Type 1 diabetic do just that in a TV news report on the Edmonton protocol - an innovative but still experimental procedure which appears to free juvenile diabetics of insulin dependence - he was blown away.
Garber's reaction had nothing to do with fruit spreads. It had to do with the idea that people like him could be cured of a disease he calls "a tyranny."
Garber, who grew up in London, Ont., really hasn't spoken publicly about being a diabetic. But that is changing.

Living Wild In France
Kangaroos
It may not be the scorching Australian outback, but fair dinkum, around 50 kangaroos who escaped a French animal park 30 years ago are happily living wild in a forest west of Paris.
The grey marsupials broke free from the Emance nature reserve in the Yvelines department and are now bounding around woods bordering a dozen villages in the neighbouring Eure-et-Loir department, Le Parisien daily reported.
Signs signalling their presence have been erected along roads bisecting the southern part of the huge Rambouillet forest.

In Memory
Art Carney
Art Carney, who played Jackie Gleason's sewer worker pal Ed Norton in the TV classic "The Honeymooners" and went on to win the 1974 Oscar for best actor in "Harry and Tonto," has died at 85.
Carney died in Chester, Conn., on Sunday and was buried on Tuesday after a small, private funeral. He had been ill for some time.
The comic actor would be forever identified as Norton, Ralph Kramden's bowling buddy and not-too-bright upstairs neighbor on "The Honeymooners." The characters appeared in various forms from 1951 to 1956, and the show was revived briefly in 1971. The shows can still be seen on cable.
With his turned-up porkpie hat and unbuttoned vest over a white T-shirt, Carney's Ed Norton with his exuberant "Hey, Ralphie boy!" became an ideal foil for Gleason's blustery, bullying Kramden. Carney won three Emmys for his role and his first taste of fame.
After "The Honeymooners," Carney battled a drinking problem for several years. His behavior became erratic while co-starring with Walter Matthau in the Broadway run of Neil Simon's "The Odd Couple" in the 1960s. He dropped out of the show and spent nearly half a year in a sanitarium.
His career resumed, and in 1974 he was cast in Paul Mazurksy's "Harry and Tonto" as a 72-year-old widower who travels from New York to Chicago with his pet cat. He stopped drinking during the making of the film.
When it won him his Oscar, Carney wisecracked: "You're looking at an actor whose price has just doubled."
Carney was born into an Irish-Catholic family in Mount Vernon, N.Y., on Nov. 4, 1918, and baptized Arthur William Matthew Carney. His father was a newspaperman and publicist.
After appearing in amateur theatricals and imitating radio personalities, Carney won a job in 1937 traveling with Horace Heidt's dance band, doing his impressions and singing novelty songs.
He was drafted into the Army in 1944 and took part in the D-Day landing at Normandy. A piece of shrapnel shattered his right leg. He was left with a leg three-quarters of an inch shorter than the other and a lifelong limp.
Carney married his high school sweetheart, Jean Myers, in 1940. After the marriage broke up, Carney married Barbara Isaac in 1966. They divorced 10 years later, and in 1980 he and his first wife remarried.
"We always kept in touch because of our three children," he said in a 1980 AP interview. "After our second divorces, it was sort of like the puppy coming home: `Oh, it's you, come on in.' We decided to give it a go again."
