...from La. to L.A., the gals trip over plot twists that belong in a much darker film (the fiance of one girl is the rapist of another; the hero's sister was abused by her father). And there will be giggles aplenty at the scene in which our brainy heroine writes a poem with the line, "I'm not a girl, not yet a woman" (which just happens to be a recent Spears hit). But Crossroads delivers on the expected climax: Britney's first kiss with an adult male. It's a Saint Bernard slobberer of a smooch--the tsunami...

The ground level of this ’50s-style diner is complete with red booths, a checkered floor and several television sets. Upstairs is a darker bar with loud, though not blaring, rock music and a jukebox.

But these...
...things weren't already murky enough, they grew darker on Friday, when Green Beret Sergeant Nathan Ross Chapman became the first U.S. serviceman to die from enemy fire during the three-month campaign. (In all, five Americans have died in Afghanistan.) Chapman, a 12-year-veteran communications specialist from San Antonio, Texas, was killed by small-arms fire Friday during an ambush near Khost, a city a few miles from the Pakistani border, near where U.S. warplanes had attacked an al-Qaeda training camp earlier in the week. A cia officer was wounded in the same ambush...
