When I told my 13-year-old daughter Alice I was taking her to get a vaccine that could help prevent cancer, she was mildly intrigued. "Cool," she allowed, "but I hate shots." Luckily, she didn't put up much resistance, and so we plunged into the heart of the most heated public-health matter of the moment: vaccinating tweenage girls against a sexually transmitted virus long before (one hopes!) they become sexually active...
...drags, then comes to a complete stop. Emotions run high from the start as the film plunges into an aggressive war between the mainlanders and islanders, but McCrudden fails to maintain that momentum. Moreover, the cinematography lacks inspiration. Many of the shots border on cliché: Cole pushing his daughter Sara on the swings to illustrate his former idyllic life; a blooming flower to symbolize rebirth; Cole’s constant, brooding face looking out to the ocean.

Mary Cheney, his openly gay daughter, ran afoul of conservative activists in December when it was revealed that she and her partner were expecting a baby. Late last month, while he was touring Bagram air base in Afghanistan, a suicide bomber attacked the camp's perimeter and killed at least 23 people in what the Taliban...
...doubtful, however, that Japan would be ready to listen. The abductions were tragic - as anyone would know who has heard the elderly parents of abductee Megumi Yokota tell of their daughter, snatched near her home at the age of 13 by North Korean agents, never to be seen by her family again. But under Abe the quarter-century old kidnappings are increasingly taking precedence over the North Korean nuclear program on Japan's foreign policy agenda - and that is not healthy. His administration has connected Japan's tough sanctions against North Korean trade not to nuclear weapons...
