...knew he was a teacher. And Heinrich, who has been renounced by the son he never met, sees in the Dalai Lama a boy so beautiful and curious he could be any wandering father's perfect child. But it is now 1949, and the Chinese communists have plans to abort this theocratic fairy tale. Tibet, they declare, is theirs...
...Park, followed by Con Air, Speed 2: Cruise Control, Batman & Robin, Face/Off and Men in Black--the big films look like instant remakes, retreads or reductios ad absurdum of last Friday's film, which wasn't all that hot either.

By today's standards of popular culture, Richard Nixon was a saint. Jail...
...against the advice of her doctor, she had sex shortly after taking fertility drugs. This event would have been noteworthy enough, but Allwood reportedly had neglected to mention the drugs to her boyfriend, who had a family elsewhere. Pro-life groups rallied to her side when she refused to abort any of the fetuses. She argued that she didn't want to choose which ones would die. But her reluctance may also have been due to News of the World. She sold the story of the impending births to the tab, and there had been speculation it would...
