...position at the PureVibe soda corporation, Bob goes to desperate lengths to keep his job secure. He cancels his family’s upcoming tropical vacation and instead takes them on a road trip in a rented R.V., so that he may surreptitiously attend a business juncture in the Colorado Rockies. Williams finds himself in familiar territory with this role: he assumes the same affable-dad-who-just-wants-to-reconnect-with-his-kids persona that he took on in “Mrs. Doubtfire” and “Hook.” But unlike Williams?...
...been lots of saber rattling," says Krikorian. "But when you completely dive into this, you realize we're helping the industry.'' If nothing else, Sling has media titans in its corner.

North Dakota, Colorado and Arizona all abandoned boot camps in the 1990s after mounting allegations of abused kids were measured against miserable recidivism rates. Georgia shut down its program in 1999 and Texas, a state synonymous with discipline, is shuttering its programs. Even before the latest controversy, Florida was in the process of scaling back its boot camps. Now, however, it wouldn't surprise anybody if that...
...more communities turn to nonbinding ballot initiatives to chime in on national and foreign policy. In Wisconsin last week, residents of 24 counties passed resolutions calling for U.S. troops to pull out of Iraq, joining dozens of towns in Vermont that have passed similar measures. Seven states--Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Montana and Vermont--and nearly 400 counties have voted either to criticize or ignore the Patriot Act. Come November, voters in localities across the U.S. will be asked to say yea or nay to affirmative action, abortion and embryonic-stem-cell research. "All of these are very personal...
