...American flag symbolizes freedom. The Constitution we soldiers are pledged to defend guarantees freedom of expression even when freedom of expression includes the right to deface the flag, however obnoxious that act may be. Of course, I'm old enough to remember flag burning when flag burning was "cool." I was in Hawaii, on R. and R., halfway through my tour in Vietnam. My wife and I were watching television when student war protesters in California--none of whom had the slightest chance of facing violent death in combat--illuminated their campus by torching Old Glory.

...filmmaker can do two cool things with genre conventions: honor them or subvert them. He can praise or bury them. Duelist tries both. It is simultaneously an evocation and an interment of the martial arts film.

Peck is also the location of the fashionable Cracco-Peck, a Michelin two-star restaurant run in partnership with celebrated chef...
...Czechs. They fouled early and often, and when they got the ball they attacked, particulary down the right side. That was thanks to Clint Dempsey - inserted into the lineup for a lethargic DaMarcus Beasley - who couldn't wait to take on the Italian defense. The man looked absolutely cool, neatly combining with Bobby Convey in the 20th minute, the latter skying the cross...
