Another challenge: Edward is AWOL for most of New Moon. Instead the movie focuses on Bella's relationship with Jacob, the Quileute Indian werewolf played by Taylor Lautner. It helps that Lautner has transformed his abdominal muscles into something resembling armor plate for the role. "I wonder if I might have gone one shirtless scene too many," Weitz says. "Of course, once they turn to wolves, any clothes they're wearing split apart.

...against his Rush Limbaugh-led party. Mitt Romney, the Republican front-runner for President according to most polls, actually created a universal-health-care plan in Massachusetts that looks very much like the proposed Obamacare, but he spends much of his time trying to fudge the similarities and was AWOL on the "death panels."

"We're going to make you indestructible," Stryker says in one of his many...
...there is any greater pleasure than watching your child vanish into a book, it is following her there to see what she sees. This is how it comes to pass in my household that my almost 14-year-old daughter and I are AWOL for long stretches these days. Her obsession with Stephenie Meyer's Twilight novels made me curious. She's a constant reader of novels, from Harry Potter to The Secret Life of Bees, but not typically a fangirl: never got into Gossip Girl, never bought boy-band T shirts or posters. But now, as the release...
