Walter Russell Mead: God's Country? (foreignaffairs.org)
Summary: Religion has always been a major force in U.S. politics, but the recent surge in the number and the power of evangelicals is recasting the country's political scene -- with dramatic implications for foreign policy. This should not be cause for panic: evangelicals are passionately devoted to justice and improving the world, and eager to reach out across sectarian lines.

The film Serenity won for best dramatic presentation, long form, while BBC's revival of Dr. Who was named best dramatic presentation, short form.

Celtic Mummies Mystery

China

The discovery of European corpses thousands of miles away suggests a hitherto unknown connection between East and West in the Bronze Age. Clifford Coonan reports from Urumqi

Solid as a warrior of the Caledonii tribe, the man's hair is reddish brown flecked with grey, framing high cheekbones, a long nose, full lips and a ginger beard. When he lived three thousand years ago, he stood six feet tall, and was buried wearing a red twill tunic and tartan leggings. He looks like a Bronze Age European. In fact, he's every inch a Celt. Even his DNA says so.

Restored

S.S. Minnow

If you're interested in a three-hour tour, George Schultz of Parksville has just the boat for you.

For about $89,400, you can buy the boat famous for setting aground on an uncharted desert isle to set the stage for the 1960s television classic "Gilligan's Island."

The twin-diesel, 36-foot mahogany Wheeler Express Cruiser hit a reef in Hecate Strait as the former owner was taking the vessel down the coast from Alaska. Scotty Taylor of Parksville said the owner sold the 46-year-old boat to him for salvage on condition that he promise to restore it.

According to the Gilligan's Island Web site, the boat is the third of four vessels used in the show. Taylor's Minnow was used in the opening credits of the second season.

Studying In Ireland

Martin Sheen

"The West Wing" star Martin Sheen will next month begin studying at a university in Ireland.

Sheen, 66, star of box office hits such as "Apocalypse Now," and "Wall Street," has enrolled for a degree in English literature, philosophy and oceanography at the National University Ireland (NUI), Galway.

The actor, whose mother hailed from the Irish county of Tipperary, has been quoted as saying he wanted to finish his education when he retired from acting as he never got his high school diploma, according to media reports.

Hospital News

Barbara Bach

Barbara Bach, a former Bond girl and wife of ex-Beatle Ringo Starr, was hospitalized with a broken leg after being kicked by a horse, a hospital official said Monday.

Bach was admitted Sunday to the Royal Surrey Hospital in Guildford, 35 miles southwest of London. She had surgery to repair her fractured right femur, the hospital said.

Bach, who turned 59 on Sunday, married Starr in 1981. The couple appeared together in the 1981 film "Caveman."

Another Horse, Another Hospital

Matthew Broderick

Matthew Broderick's vacation in Ireland was marred when he suffered a broken collarbone after falling off a horse Sunday, his publicist, Simon Halls, told The Associated Press.

The 44-year-old actor, accompanied by actress-wife Sarah Jessica Parker, was treated and released from a hospital the same day, Halls said.

"He's fine. He's just been in a little bit of pain," Halls told the AP on Monday.

Pleads Guilty

Foxy Brown

Rapper Foxy Brown pleaded guilty on Monday to misdemeanor assault charges stemming from a fight with salon workers over a manicure. The plea deal, which spares her jail time, requires her to serve three years probation and take anger management classes, said Edison Alban, a spokesman for the Manhattan district attorney's office.

Minutes after the plea, Brown, whose real name is Inga Marchand, tried to return to the courtroom and withdraw it, claiming she had been rushed into the decision, Alban said. But the judge told her "the plea stands," the spokesman said.

Prosecutors said the 26-year-old rapper, who once appeared in court wearing 4-inch hoop earrings and 3-inch stiletto heels, kicked one employee and smacked a second in the face on Aug. 29, 2004, in an argument over payment for a manicure at Bloomie Nails.

Her sentencing was scheduled for Oct. 23.

Free To Smoke

Keith Richards

Keith Richards won't be fined for reportedly lighting up during a Rolling Stones concert in Scotland.

The stage at Hampden Park, where the band performed Friday night on their "A Bigger Bang" tour, is exempt from a new law that bans smoking in enclosed public places, the Glasgow City Council said Monday.

The City Council said it had heard from journalists that the 62-year-old guitarist was smoking during the performance, but it wasn't known whether the journalists had been at the concert.

Addresses Rumors

Bruce Springsteen

Rock star Bruce Springsteen on Monday said he remains committed to his wife, singer Patti Scialfa, denying reports the pair have split.

"Due to the unfounded and ugly rumors that have appeared in the papers over the last few days, I felt they shouldn't pass without comment," he wrote in a posting that appeared on his official Web site, www.brucespringsteen.net. "Patti and I have been together for 18 years -- the best 18 years of my life.

"We have built a beautiful family we love and want to protect and our commitment to one another remains as strong as the day we were married," he wrote.

Springsteen's statement came after a gossip item, published last Thursday in the New York Post and spread widely in the media, said the couple had separated.

Gets Funding

Tom Cruise

Actor Tom Cruise, who was dropped by Paramount Pictures last week for his off-screen behavior, has signed a two-year development deal with an investment partnership headed by Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder, the companies said on Monday.

First and Goal LLC, headed by the owner of the National Football League team, will provide development and overhead financing for the actor's firm, Cruise/Wagner Productions for two years, with an option to renew after that, the companies said.

The companies did not disclose the amount of financing that would be provided.

Mocks Yale Grad Bush

Lakehead University

Posters and a Web site mocking U.S. resident George W. Bush have put the spotlight on a small Ontario university that thought a bold and edgy recruiting campaign was just the ticket to attract potential students.

The Web site, has a black and white picture of Bush, with the caption: "Graduating from an Ivy League university doesn't necessarily mean you're smart."

A link takes viewers to a site for Lakehead University, in rugged Thunder Bay, Ontario, some 1,375 km (850 miles) northwest of Toronto.

"It was literally a tongue-in-cheek way of getting attention," Frederick Gilbert, president and vice-chancellor of Lakehead University, said on Monday.

Helps Foil Burglary

Beatles Webcam

An American helped foil a burglary in northern England whilst watching a Beatles-related webcam over the Internet, police said Friday.

The man from Dallas was using a live camera link to look at Mathew Street, an area of Liverpool synonymous with the Beatles and home to the Cavern Club where the band regularly played.

He saw intruders apparently breaking into a sports store and alerted local police.

"He called directly through to police here." Officers were sent to the scene and three suspects were arrested.
