...shocked by the sight of women not covered from head to toe and poor Norini who was "so scared" of coming into contact with nonhalal products. This is what happens when the Middle Ages come to the 21st century, when superstition is taken seriously and made respectable. Pedro Pinheiro de Almeida, ATHLONE, IRELAND...
...Israeli invasion. Last spring, its militia defeated forces loyal to the U.S.-backed government in a street battle that lasted mere hours. Now a Hizballah-led political coalition is poised to do well in parliamentary elections on June 7.

But that ignores The Hangover's very strong word of mouth; people who might not have gone now know this is the movie de jour. (Everybody who needs to know about Up already knows.) And as Dan Fellman, Warner's distribution chief, told the AP, "Sunday's always good for a hangover." By tomorrow, when the final figures come in, there could be a photo finish for first place...
