...health consequences of its nuclear-testing program - although too late for those who died over the decades after having served France's strategic interests. On Tuesday, the French Parliament approved legislation providing care and compensation to people exposed to radiation during France's nuclear testing and who have fallen or may yet fall ill as a result...
...could destroy part of the planet. That film was The Hurt Locker, about U.S. soldiers defusing bombs in Baghdad. It opened at just four theaters in New York City and Los Angeles and earned $144,000, for a robust screen average of $36,000. Meanwhile, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, another movie with war and robots and stuff blowing up - and which the critics roundly denounced - earned $26,000 per screen. But it invaded 4,234 screens in the U.S. and Canada, and in doing so, it smashed the five-day record for a movie opening on a Wednesday...

In Iceland, where the krona has fallen sharply, the nation is betting on increased arrivals: this summer Icelandair will open up new routes to nine cities in Europe and North America. And VisitBritain, the official U.K. tourism body, is running a $2.6 million ad campaign urging foreigners to "see more of Britain for less." "The pound...
...represents as so prissy and antiwar it just wants the alien robots off the planet. Bay's Obama would probably drive his Prius over Optimus if he had the chance. But no problem; if you still had your hearing in the deafening home stretch of Revenge of the Fallen, you'd know that just about any chunk of metal can be brought back to life by merging the Matrix with its Spark.
