Nick's pathetic ardor for Tris has a surface plausibility, since she's been assembled from the used parts of a teen boy's fantasy. With her full mouth, caterpillar eyebrows, Naugahyde breasts and the inspiration, when aroused, to crawl onto a guy's car hood and leave her lipstick imprint on the windshield, she could be this year's Angelina Jolie knockoff. On the downside is her habit of ignoring Nick or, if she notices the guy, humiliating him. ("Can we go straight to laughing about this?" he asks after one abashing incident. That's his cure...

Next you shepherd your fledgling life-form through its single-celled stage until it's ready to crawl onto land, at which time you decide where its various eyes and ears and limbs and less easily identifiable appendages go. Then it must learn to feed itself and reproduce. Eventually, it forms tribes and builds cities. Finally it achieves spaceflight, whereupon you guide it off into the galaxy to meet other sentient species...
Things were a bit calmer Sunday, but Saturday night, barely controlled panic reigned as people flooded stores for supplies and took to the highways, slowing interstate traffic to a crawl. Steven Grabert, of Thibodaux, Louisiana, said he and his wife were alarmed when Gustav rapidly gained strength Saturday afternoon and were glad they left early - it took them six hours to make the 138-mile drive. With most hotels along the Mississippi coast filled to capacity early Saturday morning, weary travelers had no choice but to continue, hoping to find lodging farther north...
