...years I have been into computers. I remember my family's firstmachine: an Apple IIe. My favorite digital pastime was playing "Dr. J. vs. Larry Bird" and breaking the backboard with a slam dunk so the little cleanup man would come out with his squeaky cart to clean it up like onWoody Woodpecker. But I digress...
...film's cropping is so tight that it excludes any human involvement, and ordinary household objects become screen stars before our mesmerized eyes. A potato warrior, two kitchen knives tied to its back, plunges down a ramp and a lazy tire hops aboard a tiny wheeled cart, only to glide a little further before hitting its target. The elaborate set-up is at once a marvel of makeshift precision and comic redundancy (just imagine a wheel riding a cart!), and these moments of transcendent anthropomorphism simultaneously account for the film's humor and its morbid undercurrent. Eventually the series will...
...Middle East Tuesday for what one of her aides described to TIME as an "almost impossible mission" in the wake of last week's events. Well, the secretary of state's mission ? which she chose to accept ? was to spend ten hours a day in closed-door security briefings, cart home a foot-high stack of books on the region.

Monday's rounding up of Islamic militants...
...desperately scrounging for wild grasses, roots, bark--anything to supplement government rations as low as 12 spoonfuls of grain a day. In one village on the eastern coast, a rice-processing mill has no rice, so it is making noodles from seaweed. Every tractor, truck, wagon and ox-cart has been mobilized to distribute food aid as it comes in. Still, the pain is spreading across this country of 24 million as unremitting hunger stalks the land. Li Han, a Chinese truck driver who crosses the frontier regularly at Guchengli, has watched it. "People over there are starving," he says...
...would make the trek just to see the guy whose obsession is a jet engine the size of a truck muffler bolted to go-cart wheels; he sits in front of the glowing, screaming toy and zips across the alkali flats. It's nothing like piloting a computer. And there's the elaborate camera obscura some thoughtful person usually sets up, big enough to walk into and see the desert upside down. And this year, if my girls can be talked into it, we'll squish in the mud of nearby hot springs and wander around as dried-mud people...
