...such Sun Belt giants as Phoenix and Houston has been under way for years, what's new is that the hottest places in America to find jobs are small and midsize towns, and not all of them are in the warmer latitudes. Burgs ranging from Fargo, N.D., to Fayetteville, Ark., to Reno, Nev., are leading the U.S. in job gains. The Milken Institute, a private think tank, found in its annual ranking of cities with the most job growth that 11 of the top 20 had populations well under 1 million. The Fort Myers region (pop. 420,000) added...

After Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, producer George Lucas and director Steven Spielberg are hatching a fourth episode, to star the sexagenarian Harrison Ford. But why wait for that film? Relive the first three in a spiffy new DVD boxed set from Paramount Home Video...

It meanders in places then rushes through a half-dozen climaxes, including one with weak visual effects (and copped from Raiders of the Lost Ark). But Zhao Fei's cinematography is ravishing, the actors bring heft and glamour to their roles, and the battle scenes have a clanging thrill to them. When the good guys and bad guys wage a group sword fight on horseback, you'll wonder why Hollywood ever thought it could get away with boring old guns...
