...better. There are wars raging, diseases spreading, and oppressive regimes enduring.In Turin, attendance will be lackluster, some skier will be caught doping, and possibly another round of judging will be exposed as corrupt. But let us enter 2006 with hope and optimism, instead of succumbing to their tempting counterparts, doubt and cynicism. Because, as the Olympics remind us, for every Hitler, there is a Jesse Owens. For every deranged lunatic detonating a bomb in Atlanta, there is a Muhammad Ali gamely lifting a torch to light the symbolic flame. And for every Black September, there’s a Caitlin...
...pins your emotions down and half-nelsons them with the voice.When Johansson picks up the phone for an interview with The Harvard Crimson, she returns pleasantries with gruff, no-nonsense intonation.

The economist, a Kremlin maverick, fought to curb state interference in the economy, particularly in the energy sector. But with Moscow tightening its grip on oil and natural gas, Illarionov was recently stripped of a key post with...
...sorely lacks the true magic of the book. Corliss noted that the film is better because it "telescopes the book's first 100 pages into a thrilling 20 minutes." But without the detail of those 100 pages, the beginning of the movie is disjointed, sketchy and no doubt confusing to those who haven't read the book. The film falls flat. As for the idea that the book is perhaps overlong, if a book is an excellent read, it can never be too long. Jenny Turco Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin...
