Waterston lends voice to bipartisan movement
Sam Waterston is putting his star power to work in backing a movement aimed at promoting the political center rather than the left or right.
The star of “Law & Order” told George Stephanopoulos on ABC's “This Week” he has joined Unity ‘08, a group that would like to elect a bipartisan ticket to the White House.
“There's a huge majority of the American people who are ready for this, who are not represented in the current system. And this is an opportunity for those people to speak up,” the actor said.
“I think by its existence it will have a beneficial effect on anybody who's running for president, because they will be obliged to look over their other shoulder at the center, and not simply address the partisan factions that have so much sway in primaries,” Waterston said.
Prince Charles' wife to become grandmother
Prince Charles' wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, is to become a grandmother later this year, a British newspaper reported Sunday.
Sara Buys, who is married to Camilla's son Tom Parker Bowles, is expecting the couple's first child in September, the Mail on Sunday said.
“We have told our friends and family, and they are delighted,” Parker Bowles, 32, was quoted by the newspaper as saying. “Mummy is absolutely over the moon at the prospect of becoming a grandmother.”
“It's the best news ever, and we are thrilled,” Buys, 34, was quoted as saying.
Parker Bowles is Charles' godson. He became the Prince of Wales' stepson after Camilla and Charles married in 2005. Buys and Parker Bowles married later that year.
Clarence House, Prince Charles' London office, said it had no comment on the report.
