...union has also made it clear that the strike was not just about dollars and cents, but about respect as well. The workers, Toussaint intoned, deserve to be noticed, not to mention appreciated, for their endless toil below ground, among the rats and the steel dust. The notice they gained this week, however, looked at times more like notoriety-from commuters carping about the relatively high transit worker salary to angry blogs posting pictures of various station agents sleeping in their booths before the strike. But on this morning, however, forgiveness was in the close subway station...

In these last frames Spielberg makes the connection between Israel in September of 1972 and the United...
...appealing and the plot gripping, the movie ultimately seems like an Australian version of “The Blair Witch Project.” The movie kicks off with wild party footage like that of a teen comedy, but rapidly turns into an exhilarating thriller. The trio drives along endless dirt roads until they reach a small town, where they attempt to pick up gas and the girls are sexually threatened by a group of un-groomed locals. McLean successfully uses shaky camera footage and a series of UFO-related stories to create a genuinely foreboding atmosphere. After their...
