Once the deal was struck, with Arnold Schwarzenegger back as the muscle-bound cyborg, Intermedia auctioned the film’s distribution rights to the studios.

Intermedia will remain discreetly in the background, quietly cashing in on its percentage of the profits....

This is a provocative thesis, likely to prove all the more so when Goldhagen’s book is published in Germany this summer. (Although probably not as provocative as a new biography of Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels by British author and Hitler apologist David Irving. Irving’s book was pulled from publication last week by St. Martin’s Press after chairman Thomas J. McCormack concluded that its “subtext” was that “the Jews brought it on themselves....

The scheduled event was slated to take place in the main department auditorium known as the Great Hall of Justice on June 27–with Gonzales billed as the keynote speaker. The program was titled “Securing America: Law Enforcement Partnerships with American Muslim, Arab, Middle Eastern and South Asian Communities,” according to the official invitation, which went out to scores of groups and individuals last spring.

A close examination of the dungeon turned up more than 4,000 human hairs. They sat in storage until late last year, when the prosecuting magistrate reluctantly ordered DNA tests. Some experts say a trial can’t happen before 2004. One of the state’s key witnesses, a woman who puts Dutroux at the scene of Julie and Melissa’s kidnapping, is already 75 years old....

Clearly aware of this, Justin Verlander decided to make the nights of fans sitting near the Astros’ away dugout. Apparently a passionate White Sox fan spent the majority of Saturday’s game against the Astros taunting Verlander — who had pitched the night before — and the rest of the Astros, saying “they suck.” Verlander decided to take matters into his own hands with some pen and paper.
