...series of yore. You know this crowd - the brave, the mean, the selfish, the feckless, most of whom, when the crisis peaks, are capable of being whipped into an effective fighting force by a peerless leader, in this instance personified by Samuel L. Jackson's Neville Flynn, an FBI agent escorting a witness (Nathan Phillips) from Hawaii to Los Angeles to testify against a crime lord...
...course, Karr's putative pedophilia would not make him guilty of murder. Nor would it explain why Karr might have killed JonBenet. "A child molester who abducts and kills his victim is the rarest kind of molester," says Ken Lanning, a former FBI agent who has spent more than three decades studying crimes against children, and currently operates his own consulting company.

Nikolai Zavadsky, 54, husband of the late Larisa...
...when Daniel Craig was offered the role of 007 in Casino Royale, the 21st James Bond film, he was torn. Should he decline and keep building a steady career of small parts in big films (such as Angelina Jolie's lover-rival in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, a Mossad agent in Munich) and big parts in small films (Layer Cake's nice-guy coke dealer, Ted Hughes in Sylvia)? Or should he accept and become forever the man who was Bond? He turned to Pierce Brosnan, four-time veteran of Her Majesty's Secret Service, for advice...
