...trying to make it on Broadway. If modern heroines were witty enough, it’s easy to imagine the story transplanted to modern L.A. But no one could replace the whip-smart original cast, which features Katherine Hepburn, Ginger Rodgers and a young Lucille Ball. The wit comes fast and loaded, as do all movies based on plays by legendary Broadway writers George Kaufman and Edna Farber. It traces the influence of theatrical wannabe Terry Randall (Hepburn) on the struggling actresses. But the main fun is watching the women bicker and bond with their claws out, hiding nothing...

It includes provisions requiring residents who are seeking state social welfare benefits to prove their legal status, as well as mandating that the police check the legal status of everyone they arrest...
...Throughout Chinese history, education has been the chosen path to serving the imperial courts and improving one's life. In today's fast-growing China, the race has only become more competitive. Chinese parents are pressuring their children to make up for what they missed during the lost years of the Cultural Revolution. China sacrificed a generation to the Cultural Revolution, so its youth today are living partly for their elders. If given a choice, the younger Chinese kids might choose to live their lives a little differently. Lau Yeow Sin Singapore...
