...first time I drove the 2007 Jaguar XKR coupe, I didn't get beyond the parking lot. The engine had a problem, a warning light indicated, and Jaguar did not want me testing a glitchy version of a car that retails for $90,575 (including options). This was not a good sign. It wasn't long ago that Jaguar was considered the Lada of luxury models, so prone to breakdowns that mechanics could send their kids to college on the repair bills. Jaguar has, in fact, vastly improved since Ford Motor Co. bought the venerable English brand in 1989. According...
...Japanese audiences have no trouble identifying with them as they fight a doomed battle under a hard-driving but caring general (played by star Ken Watanabe) whom many Japanese would probably see as the perfect boss. Letters doesn't shy away from the suicidal warrior ethos that ultimately drove Japan's military to lead the country into obliteration - witness the scene where a lieutenant orders his men to kill themselves with live grenades, and all but one does so.

Twice the minibus drove into a basement and waited to see it was being tailed before continuing to its destination...
...Amazing Race.” But will their egos even fit in those little packs? Some Porcellian newbies kidnapped two older members so they could chat with them (the club’s venerable rules prohibit members from talking to initiates while in Cambridge). They drove them to Connecticut...whereupon the crafty members promptly stole the kids’ keys and drove away. Harvard’s newest reality TV star is overwhelmed by the demands of fame—and broke up with his girlfriend. Pandemonium broke out in Hilles when all HUID swipers were mysteriously deactivated last weekend...
