...that is a travesty, because the U.S. is the world’s driver of technology. Google, Twitter, Facebook, and the iPad were all born in America. Likewise, other goods and services produced by American corporations are equally popular in the U.S. and abroad. And American culture—from movies to music to TV—is a key American export...

(One possible exception is medical-malpractice reform. Obama has said he's open to the idea, which is often cited by Republicans as a major driver of rising health care costs.)

...other means, they form a phalanx around Lang's achievements and vulnerabilities; their job is not to help the Ghost but to contain and confound him. His adversaries include not just people but machines. The movie begins with an empty car on the Martha's Vineyard ferry - its driver vanished, and soon found dead - and ends with another car-related death. In the two intervening hours, several mysterious autos with malevolent intent stalk our hero. His only ally is a sedan earlier driven by McAra, whose chatty GPS leads the Ghost to a major suspect: Tom Wilkinson as a Harvard...
