...director Badi Hj. Azmi, is a standard exercise in macho auto-eroticism, but with extra horsepower. Malaysian punks race their souped-up cars on the public highways of the country?s capital - sort of The Fast and the Kuala Lumpurious. But it also interweaves three stories, making it a Crash with lots more fender-benders, and all in 79 zippy minutes. There?s also a scene in which a kidnapper rapes a sweet Muslim wife while her child?s in the room. No fatwas, please...

They drank exotic cocktails with hors d'oeuvres and clung together in the crowd, giggling all the time and finding pleasure just in being in each other's company. The next year they went to the Dominican Republic...
...Shakir, saying that she “will celebrate her life and her memory” during the race. Shakir is the second Harvard student to die in an accident in Peru in recent years. In June 2001, Haley S. Surti ’01 died in a bus crash in Peru just days after her graduation from the College. A writer for one of the Let’s Go travel guides, Surti’s death was the first and only fatality of a Let’s Go writer in the publication’s 45-year...
