...told the FBI that he learned much of the craft as a teenager from John Palamarchuk, a 68-year-old former body-shop owner known to law enforcement as "One-Eyed." (His right eye socket, filled with a plastic orb, is barely open.) Wills, who did not own a driver's license, sometimes enlisted his mentor to rent the trucks that hauled his booty. Palamarchuk, who has never served time despite nine arrests, was happy to oblige. Even today, after his star student's fall, Palamarchuk makes no excuses about the milieu he inhabited. "What are you driving?" he asks...
...Souls is a cry movie in every stitch of its elaborate plot. In 1959 four strangers -- a working mother (Alfre Woodard), a petty thief (Tom Sizemore), a waitress in love (Kyra Sedgwick) and a timid opera singer (Charles Grodin) -- board a San Francisco bus and die when the driver swerves to avoid a car. In that car, at that moment, a woman gives birth to a boy, Thomas; and in his body the spirits of the four dead passengers are trapped.

More ill-constructed roads greet the driver back in the Square. In order to regain the safe cement of the Broadway Garage, one must turn back up northwards on Massachusetts Avenue and re-enter the tunnel of unbearable noise magnification. The problem is that two other lanes of traffic are also entering the connector from your right, so you must accelerate fast and cross two lanes or end up on your way back to Star...
...word) is real. Nearly 80% of the increases fall on the top 1.2% of taxpayers, a refutation of supply-side theory. The 4.3 cents-per-gal. hike in gasoline taxes can be criticized as a broken promise since it hits the middle class hardest, but given that the typical driver will pay only about $33 more , a year, the burden is hardly staggering. The tax-rate increase on Social Security benefits for the wealthiest recipients (from 50% to 85%) is not onerous; in fact, it should be welcomed as a long-overdue step toward means- testing entitlement programs, which drive...
