...Jolie-like Fox (Angelina Jolie) - whispers: "Your father was one of the greatest assassins who ever lived. The man who killed him is over there." Over there is Cross (Thomas Kretchmann), triggering much gunplay. BANG! Fox drags the terrified Wesley into a sports car and takes him on a chase through Chicago traffic that climaxes with her avoiding the pursuing killer by somersaulting her car sideways over other vehicles. It's a talent Wesley will acquire when he's assigned to shoot a businessman in a limo with bullet-proof windows. Too bad the man's sun roof was open...
...that he has now largely won. With Bear Stearns, which the Federal Reserve forced into a fire sale to JPMorgan Chase, he cashed his checks quietly. But in the case of Lehman Bros., Einhorn engaged in a riveting public campaign to goad the firm into confessing its shortcomings. In mid-June, it more or less did. Einhorn, 39--a soft-spoken, baby-faced hedge-fund manager previously best known for winning $659,730 at the 2006 World Series of Poker--had briefly made himself the most important crusader for financial morality on Wall Street.

For the truth is that action sequences have become as predictable and stylized as - well, OK, your average opera. Helicopters...

A decade ago, kids whose body mass index (BMI) tracked at or above the 85th percentile for their age were dubbed "at risk of overweight." The new recommendations urge doctors to cut to the chase and simply call such children overweight. Similarly, a child with a BMI above the 95th percentile--who would previously have been labeled overweight--would now officially be called obese...
...Kobe could be defending your worst player, the guy who makes his team's fans cringe when he has the ball. It doesn't matter - against Kobe, you have to treat that guy like he's Larry Bird. Pass him the ball. Make Kobe chase him all over the court, and run Kobe into a million screens. "He has to feel the contact," says Deng. If Kobe can have the luxury of relaxing on the defensive end, he'll have more energy on offense. And is more likely to score 50 points...
