...Liverpool lightens up, and Britain brightens, when Beatlemania breaks loose in the early '60s. Guys in leather jackets and girls in plaid jumpers cavort around a Volkswagen car (a Beetle, what else?). The Fab Four, caged by their superstardom, are seen in silhouette, trying to escape from spotlight bubbles; then they walk off, duplicating the Abbey Road cover amble - cute. Love follows the Beatles through their phases: psychedelic ("Strawberry Fields"), Hindu-mystical ("Within You, Without You") and political ("Revolution," with images of protests, then the letters in Peace and Love literally disintegrating...
...world is this silly goose doing in her swan-like presence? Streep is, predictably, a marvel as Miranda - flapping her wings, nipping at her perpetually frightened flock, hissing her contempt for their frightened ways. She is always softly wondering why it is such a "challenge" for her car not to be present exactly when she needs it. Or why the staff is late for the meeting she's moved up the time for.

...first dates go, this one wasn't terribly original: dinner and a movie, followed by a lot of time in a parked car.

And they are far from the only members who have fibbed on the hugely popular hangout site--her profile bumped her age up a year while he allegedly posed as a high school senior.

...Further fueling this domestic-tourism boom is the dramatic rise in car sales and the rapid construction of a national highway network, making travel more practical and alluring. China has about 34,000 km of highways, a number that's expected to more than double by 2020. "The highways linking cities in Inner Mongolia are better than the road between Sydney and Melbourne," marvels Bruce McKenzie, who oversees China operations for the U.K.-based InterContinental group, which is among the most aggressive of the international players in China. It currently runs 54 hotels there, mostly under the Holiday Inn marque...
While Taft vacationed and Wilson gave as few speeches as possible, Roosevelt raced up the East Coast and down, across the South and into the Midwest. In Milwaukee, Wis., on Oct. 14, as he stood in an open car to salute a cheering crowd, a man a few feet away drew a revolver and fired, hitting Roosevelt in the chest and knocking him back into the car seat...
