From The Guardian, April 1, a nice update/interview with Heath.

http://observer.guardian.uk/magazine/story/0,,1742858,
A star is torn . . .

As the beating heart of Brokeback Mountain, Heath Ledger, still only 26, has blasted himself high into the A-list's stratosphere. And how does he respond to the media frenzy? By taking a year off ... Here, the brooding Australian actor talks to David Lipsky about fighting fame, becoming a father and finding love on set . . . (more)
Ennis and Jack, the dogs, horses and mules, a thousand ewes and their lambs flowed up the trail like dirty water through the timber and out above the tree line into the great flowering meadows and the endless coursing wind.

This link is working for me bring up the article, though it loads a little slowly:

Thanks for finding this!

Lynne, glad to hear the link is working.  I never know if I'm doing these cut-and-paste jobs properly.  Should I be checking with you to see if I'm duplicating stuff?  Iris

Absolutely not..go wild...if I haven't posted it, I've overlooked it or am running behind (a typical scenario).  The trouble with your link was that it seemed to get cut off

my link:    http://observer.guardian.co.uk/magazine/story/0,,1742858,00.html
your link:  http//observer.guardian.uk/magazine/story/0,,1742858,

So it seems as if the very last part of your link was truncated.  A good practice is when you preview the post, click on any links to make sure they work, then post.  Note that yours is not underlined, meaning the messageboard software did not recognize it as a valid URL link.  You can always do this after the fact too..click on post, modify post, and save if you have problems.

Thanks for keeping alert for these kinds of stories.

Love,
Lynne

Thanks for the link info -- I can see where I cut it off when I cut and pasted it. I thought I had tested it, but I guess not. But how did you get it corrected?  Iris
