Glazer's video for Jamiroquai is less flashy but nonetheless eye catching. The band is mostly unknown in the States; its current album, Traveling Without Moving, is a mere echo of stronger, tighter, better American R. and B. from the '70s. Virtual Insanity, a rant against technology that draws heavily, if not entirely successfully, on Stevie Wonder for musical inspiration, is the only truly catchy song on the album. In the video we see Jamiroquai's singer, Jay Kay, standing alone in a mostly empty room. The floor seems to move as he dances, sings and poses; furniture appears...

Mangold grew up in a blue-collar town near West Point, up the Hudson from the film's fictional Garrison, N.J. It was filled with "cops...
...Conrad, a Democrat from hard-hit North Dakota, of the bill that will provide $5.6 billion in aid for victims of disasters in 35 states: "Many of us wondered if this day was going to come, and here it is." Thousands of families bereft by flood damage can only echo his relief...
