...Fine; but if pre-emption is to be adopted as a doctrine, it has to encompass more than one rogue state. Will its use be limited to those nations - like Iraq - that possess weapons of mass destruction? Or can it be used whenever an Administration feels like it? And what happens if other nations follow the lead of the U.S. and incorporate pre-emption into their strategic thinking? (Imagine nuclear-armed India deciding to attack terrorist camps in nuclear-armed Pakistan.) That way lies international anarchy...
...every action film seems to require that a member of the hero's family die to set the revenge machinery in motion, but Cruise gives some emotional heft to this low trick. Every action film needs its weird characters, but no recent one has been so dense with fine, small roles : Lois Smith as the godmother of Precrime, Tim Blake Nelson as the keeper of Precrime perps, Peter Stormare as a shady doctor with a penchant for setting his patients on fire...
...episodes for Universal Studios for $225 a week. He says he went back to get his degree because he wanted to please his father and because "I had children of my own. They had been grousing as they got older, 'Well, Dad never finished college, and he did fine.'"

That's a fine name for a personal-injury law firm, but it's not much of an upgrade from Coby Dick for a rock star. Changing hardly seems worth the trouble. But the new/old name, like much of lovehatetragedy, is evidence of how metal has evolved over the past decade. Cartoon bands like Motley Crue and Poison once sang about sex and cars and sex in cars; then Kurt Cobain came along...
...indeed, anywhere in Europe. As both arms buyer and tourist over the years, Pinochet loved to visit London, home of his good friend Margaret Thatcher. His was not the garish Piccadilly of ordinary tourists, but that of wealthy conservatives - retired colonels and such, who shop for books and fine tailoring and stay at select gentlemen's clubs, sipping old whisky with like-minded right-wingers. In 1999, Pinochet made one trip too many and found himself under house arrest for 16 months, facing the threat of extradition to Spain to face torture charges over the treatment of Spaniards and others...
