...triad movie Too Many Ways to Be No. 1 has a devious structure that Alan Ayckbourn might envy: a layabout named Kau (Lau Ching-wan) is drawn into a heist scheme. Is it in China? Or in Taiwan? The two parts of this what-if scenario show the results, with some odd twists, as when the hoods laboriously seal their comrade's corpse behind a wall, then hear the sound of a beeper?it's the dead man's, which they need to get further instructions, and they buried it with him behind the wall. Wai visualized this complex farrago...
...babe magnet, was the year's top-grossing film, raking in $4.7 million. (Says To today: "I've still no idea why the movie was so successful.")

It turned out she wanted her own children to run the company. Her husband, Wang Yung-ching, who has three wives of his own, backed wife No. 3 and forced his son to leave Taiwan for embarrassing the clan. Wong (who spells his name differently than his father), son of wife No. 2, lost his corporate inheritance, moved to the U.S. for several years and, according...
...crash course in sensitivity training. Teachers visit homes in pairs and, once inside, have a relaxed chat with parents rather than levying instructions as they would in a classroom. Often that means overlooking threadbare interiors or a family's less-than-scholarly choice of reading material. Jennifer Ching Moff, a third-grade teacher at Sacramento's Woodbine Elementary who has logged 220 visits since the beginning of the program, lives in a suburb and ordinarily would not spend her after-school hours in a ZIP code where her pupils reside. The visits have been humbling. One family owned little furniture...
