...impossible to distinguish performance from truth. Initially, Wong, an inexperienced schoolgirl, channels a darker side solely for her unfolding professional life. Yee, conversely, a man known for his animalistic brutality, bares a worn, solitary countenance behind closed doors. These two dichotomous characters unwittingly create a relationship that assumes a dual nature in itself: restrained and unbridled, violent and erotic, lustful and odious.

Though these scenes are clearly responsible for the film’s NC-17 rating, the bedtime power plays expose the relationship?...

The lone attempted V-22 autorotation "failed miserably," according to an internal 2003 report, obtained by TIME, written by the Institute for Defense Analyses, an in-house Pentagon think tank. "The test data indicate that the aircraft would have impacted...
...more of a rhythm in the second half—his interception was the clincher, coming with just over 1:30 left in the game. The spirit of the defense in the second half is promising for a squad that has to travel to Lehigh next weekend and face dual-threat quarterback Sedale Threatt.
