Good afternoon, everyone. Haiti coverage continues today with two thoughtful Paul Farhi pieces: One on the sheer logistical nightmare of getting photographers and reporters on the ground in Port-au-Prince, and another on the world of backlash to anti-Haiti comments made by Rush Limbaugh and Pat Robertson after the earthquake struck.

If you need a few moments' respite from the heartbreak, here's what's going on in the rest of the world:

"Jay Leno is set to return to 'The Tonight Show,' unless Conan O'Brien has a last-minute change of heart about hosting the show in a later time period." Lisa de Moraes reports; O'Brien fans everywhere wait for answers.

Ann Hornaday profiles Alec Baldwin, and really, there is no reason why you shouldn't read every word of it right this second.

Hornaday also presents a look at this year's awards-season battle between unlikely foes: "The Hurt Locker" and "Avatar."

Jessica Dawson explores a new art world trend: "Artists and developers link arms to throw art shows in unsold, high-design 2BR/2BAs along U Street and up 14th."

Phew! "On Thursday morning," Dan Zak writes, "the Doomsday Clock was set back one minute, from 11:55 to 11:54, reversing a precipitous slide toward midnight, the zero hour, ultimate self-destruction."
