...coming Best Director prize to Haneke, and snubbed Cronenberg completely. The King isn't in their class, but it gets star heft from Mexican hottie Gael García Bernal. He plays a quietly intense young man named Elvis who insinuates himself into his long-absent father's devoutly Christian family: righteous wife (Laura Harring), rebellious son (Paul Dano) and a daughter (Pell James) searching for love, divine or carnal.

Rick Scarborough has been the kind of dedicated activist the G.O.P. has to thank for much of its current dominance. Since that day in 1992, Scarborough, 55, has believed that "Christians have a moral responsibility in this country to be involved in politics." For most of the past decade, the outspoken Baptist minister from Texas has used his pulpit to help elect conservative judges and politicians. Along the way, his organization, Vision America, has recruited 3,000 to 4,000 "patriot...
