...equal ease see the chink in Hector's armor. He is a gay man, given to groping his students when he gives them rides home on his motorcycle. The kids are entirely unshocked by this behavior. As far as they're concerned its just part of Hector's wayward charm. Not so the headmaster, when the teacher is caught out. He's never much liked Hector's classroom style and the question of whether the teacher will go or stay is what the film has for dramatic tension...
...Xbox 360 (and its new trimmings) as feats of hitherto unseen technological wonder. Both companies have bet recklessly on their platforms, and both see them as gaming plus a whole lot more. So while the gaming world has its own critiques - and while the Nintendo Wii continues to charm with its less performance-based attitude - my desire was to see what the Xbox and PS3 could do in the way of movies, music and other entertainment.

PFC Phillip Busenlehner's good-luck charm is an angel pendant given to him by his best friend's mother last year before Busenlehner left for boot camp. The case it came in reads, "An angel to give you strength to overcome any challenge." The pendant has been blessed by three priests and the Pope...
...last time presumptive Pentagon boss Robert M. Gates faced Senate confirmation - for CIA director in 1991- he put a small good-luck charm in his pocket. It was a smooth, white oblong stone he'd picked up while hiking in Washington State's Olympic Range. Gates put it in his pocket to remind him during the tough confirmation hearings that there was life after Washington if his nomination went down to defeat...
