...future world savior John Connor (Nick Stahl) is now a whiny teenager who needs help from his surly robot pal (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and a school chum (Claire Danes) to escape the machinations of blond killer cyborg T-X (Kristanna Loken). The Messiah metaphors that helped make the first Terminator a superior entertainment are now just the givens: boy and girl in peril, with one protector and one implacable pursuer. At its metallic heart, T3 is another chase movie--one figure relentlessly tracking three others, mostly in cars, at high speed through implausibly underpopulated Los Angeles streets...

Over the radio comes a play-by-play: "Yeah baby," says a voice. "He just ate coax for breakfast," says another. But the sharks were already...

(Not having to worry about what to wear to work every day allows him to concentrate more on work, he says.) And he will always take any opportunity he can to lay out the wider context, the framework--and how Apple fits in. Pull...
DIED. RAY KELLY, 83, chum and mascot to Babe Ruth, whom he called a "second father"; of a heart attack; in Valley Cottage, N.Y. Ruth noticed Kelly one day as the three-year-old was playing catch with his dad in Manhattan's Riverside Park. For the next decade, "Little Ray" was a bench-warming lucky charm for the Yankees...
