Caton-Jones, at least, tried hard. You can-glimpse his effort in cute little by-the-way details. When MacGregor finally slaughters Cunningham (now you know--hopefully you won't bother to see for yourselves), the Marquis stoops over the body and pulls a cameo of Archie's mother out of the dead man's vest. Is the Marquis Archie's father? Intriguing, but we wish there had been some hint of the relationship beforehand. "Rob Roy" is fully of similar lagunas. One of the most glaring is the fade-out over the course of the film of the clan...
...looks[in] a lot more detail at consumer behavior and why people consume in the ways that they do including social dimensions of consumption like `Keeping up with the Joneses," Schor said...
...muse, adjusting only lightly to the headline trends, are looking especially smart. Christian Lacroix creates with his head in the past-the past of the French masterpieces in the Louvre. To some women his work is overdecorated, but his clothes are endless reveries on color executed in minute detail, such as Lesage embroidery, usually found only in handmade costumes. Similarly, Japan's Issey Miyake, who has never cared a whit about hemlines or gold chains, played a gentle counterpoint to the mainstream with radiant fabrics and a magicianly way with material that amounted to sculpting...
While some memories are undoubtedly repressed, the belief that they can be recovered in vivid detail, through such techniques as visualization and hypnosis, makes many scientists skeptical. The latest work on the brain suggests that our memories are always dynamic and never quite whole. From the moment we experience them, our perceptions are broken down into fragments that are stored all over the brain. The memory of a rose, for example, doesn't exist in any one place in the cerebrum. Instead it is created anew every time a person thinks about it, from subunits of sensation based on color...
...potentially deadly threat, the tests open up a critical window for averting disaster. Just because a little information is good, however, does not necessarily mean that more information is better. Physicians are starting to have at their disposal a whole new panoply of advanced tests that provide more detail about what is going on inside the human body-often down to the molecular level--than ever before possible. Yet as Jernberg discovered, such tests can warn of dangers that are so far off, they may not be worth worrying about. Knowing too much, it turns out, may prove just...
