...rebuilt) six times. Seven may be the charm, since one of the students is a decent kid: our hero, Kamiyama (dishy Takamasa Suga). In the first reel, he writes a letter home: "Oh, mom I?m a bit confused. Everyone looks like a yakuza." That?s not quite fair to the rain-gutter coalition on view at CHS. There?s gorilla sitting at one classroom desk, and a prancing tough guy called the Queen (Freddie Mercury with Toshiro Mifune?s menace), and a cigarette-puffing robot in a pink shirt. The entire group sends up fumes like an Iraqi...

...face it - the comparison just isn't fair. At all. Remember the highlight clips, the posters from the 1980s, when a skinny Michael Jordan soared above the seven-foot stiffs of the day, his knees knocking their noses, for a ferocious, "did that just happen?" dunk?

...thank TIME for writing an unbiased review of Floortime and ABA. Too many articles prop up one approach over the other without giving an honest summary of both. I work within both models as a special-education teacher. Your article highlights the pros and cons of each in a fair, unbiased way. The goal is to choose what works for an individual child. Many, many children benefit from both models simultaneously or at different times in their childhood. Treatment is not a competition between ideas; it is a matter of finding what works at a particular moment with an individual...

...played a helpful role. I'm convinced the media have been an unwitting handmaiden to those who play upon people's fears. If there is a shred of possibility of a dirty-bomb attack, the media will report the possibility without knowing the odds. The media want to be fair to both sides, but they should attempt to get at reality. I'm a threat skeptic. The organizations we're facing now aren't military-like. They're much less organized.
