Front line
A front line is a line of confrontation in an armed conflict, most often a war. On either side of the front line stand the forces of the various combatants. In modern warfare, due to the broken nature of mechanized combat, front lines rarely form; instead a zone of confrontation comprises a wide band where forces engage in battle.
World War I featured the most clearly defined front lines known to date: the front line in France became marked by dug trenches almost throughout.
The adjective front-line is also used to describe weapons, ships or aircraft that are of the latest fighting standard, or army units intended to serve at the front line.

Glenn Beck (born February 10, 1964) is an American talk-radio host. His show is syndicated by 202 radio stations, including XM Satellite Radio, in the continental United States, Vancouver and British Columbia in Canada, and Puerto Rico.
Early life and career
Beck made his radio debut at the age of 13 in Seattle, Washington, and grew up in Sumner. Beck had won an hour of radio time in a contest, but Beck quickly drew the favor of his new colleagues and was granted a part-time job as a DJ. He hosted Christian radio on Saturday, rock on Sunday and country on weeknights, but lost the job when he failed to complete a shift due to a migraine headache.
In the same year he debuted on radio, his mother, an alcoholic, committed suicide by drowning herself in a bay near Tacoma. More family tragedy followed shortly afterward as one of his brothers-in-law committed suicide in Wyoming and another had a fatal heart attack.
Beck experienced success in radio during his 20s and his career grew rapidly. However, he became an alcoholic and a drug addict, even describing himself as "a despicable human being." The addictions culminated in a period of intense unhappiness and the disintegration of his first marriage, which had produced two children. With the help of family and Alcoholics Anonymous, Beck stopped drinking and using drugs. He converted to Mormonism and remarried (his second wife is Tania). Beck cites his 15-year-old daughter, Mary (named after Beck's mother), as one of the reasons he was able to pull together. Mary was born with cerebral palsy, which had led doctors to predict she would never walk or feed herself. She has since been able to do both, and runs cross-country for her school now. Beck now describes himself as "a work in progress."
Political views and controversial statements
On his show, Beck addresses many issues, mostly from a conservative viewpoint. He does not identify himself as a Republican but largely supports the policies of George W. Bush and the Bush administration. However, he is critical of the Bush administration on several issues, including border security, government spending, some aspects of the Iraq war, and the nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court.
Beck describes himself as a Mormon with libertarian leanings and a strong sense of "family values." His stated opinions include being pro-life, pro-Iraq War, and against what he views as "political correctness". Beck is critical of the entertainment industry and television shows featuring gays and lesbians, such as Will & Grace. He is opposed to euthanasia and capital punishment, as well as anti-smoking regulations. He describes himself as "pro-business," and against raising the minimum wage.
His show often creates satirical songs about various subjects. He often plays "I Like Chinese" in connection with stories about the People's Republic of China, and spinoff song "I Like the French" with stories about France. Both make fun of their respective target nations. He also plays the classic song "Rolie Polie," a song about a fat kid that will eat anything, as the theme song of controversial leftist documentarian Michael Moore.
On November 3, 2004, the day after the 2004 Election, Beck had a special show, Gloatfest 2004, where he gloated over the victories of Bush and the Republicans over Kerry and the Democrats, and laughed at various things from "the Left" during the campaign that he felt were absurd. He stated that, had Bush lost, it would have been called Pity Party 2004.
Book and magazine
Beck the author of The Real America: Messages from the Heart and Heartland (ISBN 0743486331). Beck also is the founder and editor of a magazine called Fusion, which is a play on The Glenn Beck Program's motto, "the Fusion of Entertainment and Enlightenment," and is a comedy publication. A recurring item in Fusion is the future obituary of famous people. Those included in this segment so far are Michael Jackson (Vol. 1, Issue 1), J.K. Rowling (Vol. 1, Issue 2), Osama bin Laden (Vol. 1, Issue 3), Helen Thomas (Vol. 1, Issue 4), Gobbler (Vol. 1, Issue 5), and Michael Newdow (Vol. 1, Issue 6). Fans who went to the 2005 Glenn Beck: On Ice tour received the first issue.
