With Nigel's help, Andy squeezes into a size-four Chanel from the Runway wardrobe room. A sleek new haircut, some stiletto Jimmy Choos and suddenly Andy is indistinguishable from the rest of the Clackers at Runway, and becomes the best assistant Miranda ever had. "How do you know you're doing well working for Miranda?" Nigel asks. "Your personal life falls apart. When your whole life goes up in smoke, that's when it's time for a promotion." "Andy begins as a strong, grounded character, and as the story progresses, she becomes more and more preoccupied with success," says Hathaway. "All she can see is her job and doing it well. When you've imagined that you're going to save the world, and you find that the world isn't always willing to be saved, you need to rethink who you are." When she first falls under Miranda's control, Andy sees her boss as "a career-obsessed dragon lady," says Hathaway.

Editorial: Vietnam syndrome redux
The Jan. 14 The New York Times, in "Across America, Deadly Echoes of Foreign Battles," says it found 121 cases in six years since 2001 of homicide by returned soldiers. This, said The Times, represented an 89-percent increase in the homicide rate among soldiers over the six previous years. But despite its length — mostly a recounting of the most lurid cases — the Times story didn't reveal much about its methodology or put its figures into broader context. If you do the math to compare the murder rate of these returnees with that in the same age cohort of the general population, you might see the soldiers faring better. One such calculation, by Ralph Peters, of the New York Post, found that war vets are about a fifth as likely to commit homicide as others from the wider cohort of young adults.

Oil prices rise on expectations the Fed will cut rates, OPEC will not ...
Oil prices rose despite predictions of rising U.S. oil supplies, with traders focusing on expectations the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates later Wednesday and OPEC will not raise its output this week. "There's possibly some anticipation over the Fed's likely rate cut," said David Moore, a commodity strategist with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia in Sydney. The U.S. central bank cut interest rates sharply last week, and is expected to cut rates again Wednesday. Energy investors hope the moves by the Fed and a planned stimulus package from the U.S. Congress will limit damage to the economy of the world's largest oil consumer. Light, sweet crude for March delivery added 91 cents to US$92.55 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange by midday in Europe.
