A $700 billion financial rescue plan was sent to Congress Saturday, and Democrats moved quickly to propose changes—including possible help for homeowners and a salary cap for CEOs. Democrats also are pushing for a new $100 billion economic stimulus package, although it's not clear if that would be part of the Wall Street bailout or be voted on separately. The Bush admistration's plan to move toxic mortgage-related debt off the balance sheets of U.S. banks and other institutions—and into a massive government portfolio—represents an all-out attack on the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. Under authority sought by the Treasury Department, the gove…

It regularly tops polls for the funniest film ever made, yet for almost three decades Monty Python's Life of Brian has remained out of bounds to residents of Torquay. Organisers of a comedy film festival in the seaside resort next week have been obliged to get special dispensation after discovering that the film was still on the local authority's blacklist, 28 years after its release.

Chapman played a character mistaken for the Messia…
