...tops of the ponderosa pines at the Sugar Pine Recreation Area in California's Tahoe National Forest. Campers slumber in lakeside tents; bikers have yet to hit the trails. But all is not quiet on this cool July morning. A platoon of camouflaged figures equipped with rifles, pistols and bulletproof vests creep through manzanita brush with a police dog. Their objective: a marijuana plantation a few hundred yards from a well-traveled tourist area...
...much they love Stifler. The night before our meeting, a bouncer at a nightclub told him, "Anything you need, Stifler. Anything." This conflation of actor and role is partly because of Scott's limited onscreen profile. His other film credits include Dude, Where's My Car? and Bulletproof Monk. But it's also a tribute to how seriously Scott took what was originally a throwaway role. "He was really just an a______," Scott says of the way the character was written. "I said, 'Don't make him funny. Make people remember...
Despite the dismal performance of April's Bulletproof Monk, Scott believes he's best suited to be an action hero (he does have really large biceps), though he realizes that he might forever be known as Stifler. And he has been known to Stifler it up sometimes.

...drug supply. Hardheaded and hungry for a story, Guerin is threatened, shot at and severely beaten before finally fingering untouchable kingpin John Gilligan. We know the ending too well: on June 26, 1996, while waiting at a traffic light, she is gunned down. Veronica Guerin may not have been bulletproof or able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but for many in Ireland, she is a real-life superhero. But unlike, say, the Hulk, Guerin needs more than special effects to bring her legend to the big screen. Blanchett does a wonderful job of paying homage...
...murders under the Milosevic regime. So far, 45 conspirators have been charged in the assassination. The sweep has turned up new evidence against Milosevic and his wife Mira, and shed light on dozens of unsolved murders. A special courtroom is being built in downtown Belgrade, with secret booths and bulletproof glass, for a trial set to start in July. Military reforms, long delayed, are gathering pace too. Defense Minister Boris Tadic last week ordered members of the armed forces to reveal whatever they know of the whereabouts of suspected war criminals. At least one war-crimes suspect is expected...
