...worked like a man, like a dog, doing gorgeous stunts in such terrific films as The Heroic Trio, Tai Chi Master and Wing Chun, and suffered torn ligaments, cracked ribs, jangled neck vertebrae and a dislocated shoulder. She was seriously injured in 1995, while shooting Ah Kam. "It wasn't one of my difficult stunts," Yeoh says blithely, "just jumping off an 18-ft. wall. I landed on my head, and my neck went crack!

...whom should we blame for this political mess? Operatives Carville and McCurry? But they are just doing their jobs. Television network executives? You wouldn't cede your legally guaranteed property (in this case, the airwaves) either. Voters? Ah, yes. Blame ourselves for being victims of a passive culture...
