...into HDTV this may not sound like a big deal. In fact, aside from HBO and the networks, most of what I record airs only in standard definition: Comedy Central, Cartoon Network, Food Network and a great chunk of the Discovery Channel?s best shows. But there?s a profound psychological difference between having access to most of my shows and all of my shows.

The expansion design, approved by Panama's Congress last spring, would dig a new approach channel about five miles long just east of the existing Gatun locks at the Atlantic entrance, and a similar one just west of the Miraflores locks on the Pacific side. Each new channel would hold three-step locks 180 ft. wide, compared with 110 ft. for the existing locks, and they...
Death of a President, the documentary-style fiction film directed and co-written by Gabriel Range for Britain's Channel 4, has a premise so incendiary that the movie was denounced even before its premiere last month at the Toronto Film Festival, and Range has reportedly received death threats. D.O.A.P., as it was originally titled, is to open next week, but not necessarily at a theater near you. Regal, the nation's largest chain, is one of several that have refused to book...
