On one level, this graceful film is a classic coming-of-age story; on another it explores the challenges of sorting out priorities and making life choices.

The acquisition of Gasol now leaves Buss in the position of paying the NBA luxury tax, and although Donald Sterling might still consider him an idiot, Buss is proving once again to be everything a Lakers fan should want in an owner. He not only pays top dollar for companionship, which is so Hollywood, but he's also the guy who hired the NBA's best coach. And Phil Jackson earned his $10 million keep before this season even began, remaining the voice of calm with Bryant this summer, although I can't wait to read the book and what he really thinks when Jackson ends his Lakers career. MY FIRST thought when I heard the Lakers had picked up Gasol was not the NBA Finals, but the concern that Bynum might be more hurt than we know, and maybe even out for the season. I also expressed concern with Gasol's physical condition, a sore back just the kind of thing to bedevil a seven-footer all season long -- even though he plays soft. It was disturbing too, I guess, to note that his next playoff win will be his first, Gasol going 0 for 12 so far in the playoffs, while the Clippers' Quinton Ross already has seven playoff wins. And the fact is, the folks in Memphis were treating the team's best player like Lakers fans regarded Kwame Brown. I've got to admit I had my doubts, but then don't I always, so I decided this time to go along with everyone else and get swept away by Lakers euphoria. You know what, it feels pretty good .

Nor are we much better prepared at home. Authorities have sometimes taken controversial steps to keep demonstrators from disrupting the proceedings. In 2000, the Los Angeles Police Department broke up a politically themed rock concert adjacent to the Democratic convention at Staples Center, using pepper spray and rubber bullets to disperse the crowd of 8,000 after a small group of anarchists pelted them with glass bottles, concrete and metal rods. The city paid $4. 1 million in lawsuit settlements with demonstrators who were injured or contended they were arrested without cause during other protests. About 90% of the New York Police Department's 1,700 arrests of activists during the 2004 Republican convention resulted in acquittals or dismissed charges, spurring allegations that the department had preemptively arrested activists to cut down on protests.

Mubarak has ruled Egypt for the last 26 years and, for weeks, the 79-year-old president has been denying rumors that he is ill; several editors who printed such stories face criminal trials. Analysts say that regardless of the health questions, the Mubarak government is in its twilight and that there is no clear successor, although the president's son Gamal is viewed as a favorite among the NDP's younger, rising power brokers. The government has moved quickly to resolve many strikes, fearing that an alliance of labor and opposition groups could jeopardize the NDP. Few people in Washington took sex discrimination seriously, however. As the commission's official history notes, it had been added to the legislation as a last-minute ploy by a Southern congressman who opposed civil rights for blacks "and thought that Congress would reject a bill that mandated equal rights for women. "Members of Congress made jokes about sex discrimination on the House floor, but the act passed -- with Title VII intact -- after a furious lobbying campaign by feminist activists and the public endorsement of Lady Bird Johnson, the president's wife. When the commission convened, it was quickly evident that most of the five members were interested only in racial discrimination -- and mainly how it affected black men. The primary exceptions were Aileen Hernandez, a union activist from California, and Graham. Friedan met Graham toward the end of his one-year term. The Directors Guild has laid the groundwork for negotiations to begin this year, well before its contract expires in June. Striking so soon carries big risks for the writers union.

Protesters stormed Government House in August, forcing Somchai to escape over a back fence. He has spent recent days holed up in the northern city of Chiang Mai. The king may not be able to work the political magic he has in past crises because this time the palace's neutrality is in question. In October, Queen Sirikit presided over the funeral of a 28-year-old PAD supporter who was killed when a tear gas canister struck her head as police tried to break up a demonstration outside parliament. The anti-government alliance interpreted the queen's appearance at the funeral, along with her daughter Princess Chulabhorn, as silent approval from the palace for its months-long effort to topple the government. The prime minister's backers also suspect that the king may not be above politics. They had insisted that Somchai's elected government had to remain in power to defend democracy from what they see as a mob that is holding the country's main airports hostage. --paul. watson.
WASHINGTON — President Bush lifted a long-standing White House ban Monday on new oil and gas drilling off the nation's coastlines and pressured Congress to take a similar step, stoking the battle over how Washington should respond to high gasoline prices. Bush's decision to lift the executive order, which was imposed by his father in 1990 and renewed by President Clinton, will have no effect unless Congress cancels its own ban on offshore drilling. But with the price of gasoline sitting above $4 a gallon, his action places the possibility of new drilling squarely in the public debate and gives him a political cudgel .

WASHINGTON — Undergoing hours of pointed questioning by a House committee, Roger Clemens repeatedly proclaimed Wednesday that he had never used steroids or human growth hormone -- accusations leveled against the legendary pitcher under oath by his former personal trainer, who sat a few feet away and faced intense scrutiny about his own credibility. The somber, occasionally tense hearing was called after Clemens vehemently denied the accusations made by Brian McNamee in the Mitchell Report, a sweeping examination of the steroid problem that has come to dominate baseball over the last decade. Clemens was asked why his longtime friend, teammate and training partner, Andy Pettitte, would say under oath that Clemens had told him he had used HGH if he never did.
