JULIA, IS THAT YOU?
Look carefully at the cover of the July Redbook. It looks like JULIA ROBERTS, but it's not. Oh, that's Julia Roberts' head and Julia Roberts' body, but the head is from a photo taken in 2002, and the body is from the premiere of Notting Hill in 1999. Apparently acting on the theory that the whole is less than the sum of its parts, Redbook cut and pasted the two images to form a single, beautiful but inhuman Julia. (Cover line: THE REAL JULIA. Irony much?) Now the real real Julia is hopping mad. To restore journalistic integrity to the pictorial exploitation of celebrities, we present a photo of the total Julia. Doesn't she look fine in one piece?

Looking for Mr. Right What a Surge Really Means Can a couple more divisions in Iraq make a difference? Or is Bush's idea too little, too late?		Maliki's Last Stand? The prime minister makes a new call to curb violence, but Iraqis' patience with him and his government is wearing thin Where Does Negroponte Leave Intelligence?
