That does not mean the picture is sedentary. It ranges the world from Paris to Brooklyn, with stopovers in London, Beirut, Israel, Spain (or their geographical stand-ins), and it is full of derring-do and suspense. (Best such sequence: a child innocently answers a call on an explosive-laden phone meant to blow her father to kingdom come.) At more than 2 1/2 hours, Munich allows itself time to efficiently develop character, particularly among Avner's team, which is run--mostly from afar--by Geoffrey Rush's hard-assed executive spook. The assassins include a hot-blooded South African...
...energetic and ambitious Professor Harold H. Koh ’75, who is now the dean of Yale Law School. Spurred by a varied group of Yale law students—including a rebel and a Rhodes Scholar—Koh filed suit against the U.S. in a Brooklyn federal district court. He argued that the Haitians had a right to counsel and that the government was illegally denying him access to his clients.

That's where the swells dressed up for the opening night of a Gershwin show starring Fred and Adele Astaire. The Woolworth Building, four miles down the street, was the Cathedral of Commerce; the village of legitimate...
...that's O.K. by him. He has a cheerful yellow house in a leafy part of Brooklyn, N.Y., where neighbors took lasagna when his fiancé Michelle Williams (see box) gave birth to daughter Matilda Rose a few weeks back and where he and his family have been chased by paparazzi only once. He wants more kids. He wants to take Matilda to the beachside home he bought in Sydney, although he dreads the "long lenses looking at your butt as you come out of the ocean...
