...these is White, who tells M and Bond a little secret; that Quantum has people everywhere. That's the cue for M's trusted bodyguard to pull a gun on her and reveal himself as a Quantum hireling. More fighting and chasing and leaping, intercut with the running of Il Palio, the famous horse race held in a Siena's main piazza. Director Marc Forster - known for gimmicky art-house films like Finding Neverland, Stranger Than Fiction and The Kite Runner - turns out to be a natural as the helmer of a high-energy, high-gloss action film. He also...
...That a 5ft. 9in. white kid would be seen as a hoops savior is just one cue that the HSM movies dwell in a Disney fantasyland. Another is the obsessively color-coordinated outfits the kids wear to school, and touches of extravagant decor, like Troy's tree house, as big as an Astaire-Rogers Deco suite, redecorated in retro-rustic.

The FBI is looking at ACORN for a reason, and the phrase ballot suppression is not a term totally unheard of in GOP hallways. That said, both sides are by and large trying to do what is right, at least most of the time. New-voter registration is a good thing. Keeping a sharp eye out to prevent ballot fraud...
Last fall, Wenxin “Vincent” Xu ’09 flipped through the CUE guide looking for classes with the highest ratings, and Kuriyama’s class, then East Asian Studies 17, got a 5.0. Xu praised Kuriyama’s sometimes “quirky” style of teaching for making lectures much more interesting. “He’ll show a picture of a tree and he won’t show anything else for a minute and that will be something related to the concept of chi in East...
