FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
John Malkovich
Who's Prince Harrys new sweetheart? Watch the ABC report. Is John Malkovich to perform in Mexico City? Watch the BBC report. What are Mexicans doing to fight violence and crime? Watch the CNN report. Did passengers freak out on the Titanic? Listen to the NPR report. What's up with earthquakes in Mexico? Read the Reuters report. Are Americans really that heavy? Read the Time article. Whatever happened to the North Korean rocket launch? Watch the FoxNews report via Yahoo
