During this time, he's also reported from Romania, Cuba and New Orleans.

Thompson vs. Giuliani: Can the tortoise conquer the hare again?
Rudy Giuliani left the gate early, sprinting towards the finish line off in a distance. Fred Thompson waited, plotted and planned, leaving the gate last, well behind all others in the race, seeming completely unconcerned with the dashing hare, as he methodically set one foot firmly ahead of the other. Is it the tortoise and the hare all over again? Both candidates are a bit long-in-the-tooth. Both have fought and conquered cancer. Both have been qualified leaders within their party. Both have strong base support and both have the capacity to be a good executive. But each has a different strategy for winning the hearts and minds of the people, within their party and beyond, and only time will tell which strategy is best. They are clearly different people with different personalities and their own styles.
Writers guild files unfair labor practices complaint against Hollywood ...
After talks broke off last week, the alliance claimed guild leaders were trying to increase their power at the expense of members. Union leaders accused the alliance of "lies" aimed at sowing doubt and dissension in union ranks. "There are a few people who are starting to panic, but they're only a few," Erin Maher, a writer for the TV show "Moonlight," said while picketing Thursday at Paramount studio. Union sentiment so far contrasts sharply with the previous writers strike in 1988 that lasted 22 weeks, said Ross Brown, a longtime member of both the writers and directors guilds and an assistant professor at Chapman University's Dodge College of Film and Media Arts. "Nobody likes the fact that there's a strike. But I heard open complaining in 1988 about the strike, and there were meetings of open dissent," he said.
