...first two movies, Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk, star Robert Downey Jr. and Ed Norton, Oscar-nominated actors with indie credibility. And Hellboy, who is back this summer for a sequel, is hardly your standard man in tights. He smokes cigars, drinks Red Bull and collects kittens. "Kids aren't kids anymore," says Hellboy creator Mike Mignola. "They're so exposed to everything. They wouldn't accept really simplistic superheroes." It's likely that a superhero movie like Watchmen or The Dark Knight couldn't be appreciated by audiences without the simpler fare that came before...
...meager supplies on their backs, they looked dazed by the array of force that had gone into their capture: the trucks, the ATVs, the radios, the guns, the bird. If they had been picked up in Yuma Sector, they would have been headed for jail. But there aren't enough courtrooms and cells to handle Tucson Sector's traffic. "They'll probably be on the bus back to Mexico by noon," Dart said...
...stark fear that he is HIV-positive. I won't give away the ending, but it's not that important. The key parts of the movies are those that remind us that even in the antiretroviral era, getting HIV is an enormous medical and psychological burden.

The plan, an update of an effort launched in the waning days of the Clinton Administration in 2001, looks to harness state and federal action to reduce the flow of fertilizer into the Mississippi, much of which comes from agricultural sources that aren't covered by the regulations of the Clean Water Act. The ultimate goal is to shrink the size of the dead zone, averaged over five years, to 1,930 sq. mi. or less by 2015 - considerably smaller than the 7,900 sq. mi. the zone reached last year. "This plan...
...GEMs certainly aren't the answer to the nation's need for a decent, inexpensive electric car. First of all, they're not that inexpensive - considering what you get, the GEM's price seems a bit too steep. And while the car might work around a small neighborhood, or a dense city like New York, Americans increasingly commute longer and longer distances - an electric car will only work if it can drive the way a gas-powered vehicle can. No auto company has achieved that yet, but the good news is that after years of ignoring electric car research, almost...
