The film's other star is Paris. Like any self-respecting thriller set in a famous city, Dragon stages action scenes in many local landmarks: the MEtro, a bateau mouche, the gorgeous Gare de l'Est, the Regina Hotel...
...experiment called BOOMERANG (Balloon Observations of Millimetric Extragalactic Radiation and Geophysics), which lofted instruments into the Antarctic stratosphere; from another named MAXIMA (Millimeter Anisotropy Experiment Imaging Array, which did the same over the U.S.); and from a microwave telescope on the ground at the South Pole, called DASI (Degree Angular Scale Interferometer...

But in a country of copycat Brylcreemed coiffures, the Koizumi Perm is downright revolutionary: ample gray locks swirling high above his head and cascading down the back of his neck, brushing over his shirt collar. The rakish look of the tall, angular 59-year-old enhances his image as an iconoclast, a romantic lead actor storming the stage of Japan's crusty political establishment. As Toshiaki Okazaki, a 59-year-old whale-meat vendor, said while Koizumi campaigned near his stall in Kita-Kyushu recently: "So many of them have deceived...
