...Wallabies to the final of the last World Cup, but the side was impressive just once in that campaign. The Wallabies' loss to Wales on Nov. 26 was their eighth defeat in nine Tests. Each time, they retreated to camp amid a buzz about grueling sessions and tactical fine-tuning, only to play just as badly the next time. Many observers have railed about favoritism shown to the ageing captain. But the team's problems go beyond George Gregan. Success in rugby - an infuriatingly stop-start game - starts with the scrum, and Jones leaves behind an Australian scrum that...
...remorseless familiarity of most movies is one factor cited in the slumping box office: down 7% in 2005. In the U.S. and Canada, that is. But Hollywood films are a global affair, and in the rest of the world, business is fine; theatrical revenues continue to rise. And even that is only a sliver of the story, since studios now make six times as much money from the home market (DVDs, pay-per-view, etc.) as they do from theaters.

Someone is trying to scare a decent family: TV host Georges (Auteuil), his wife Anne (Binoche) and their 12-year-old son. And doing a fine job of it.

"More and more people are veering into Islamic extremism and embracing the Iraqi cause ... all converging on al-Zarqawi's struggle," says a senior French counterterrorism official. "To our great distress, he's doing just fine without ever turning his attention from Iraq." As long as that's true, al-Zarqawi will be at the forefront of the war against the West that his old boss started...
...what socially responsible really means," says Russel Kinnel, Morningstar's director of fund research. The Natural Capital Institute, a Bay Area research group, reported last year that some SRI funds invested in weaponmakers like Raytheon and in tobacco businesses like Altria (formerly Philip Morris). Says Kinnel: "Read your prospectus' fine print." It's also a good idea to think of SRIs as long-term investments. Why? Since they're typically underrepresented in oil and other stocks that are subject to price shock, they may under- or overperform depending on the season. And as with all other investments, keep...
