...Once you posit that the show is set in the world of antiterrorism," says executive producer Robert Cochran, "you can't shy away from the things that people are afraid of. It'd be like a cop show with no murders." (Also, 24 has gutsily kept its real-time format, which Fox feared made it inaccessible to viewers who missed episodes...
...indies' success hasn't escaped the chains' notice. Both Home Depot and Borders Books & Music are experimenting with smaller-format stores. Home Depots are supposed to become more user friendly, especially for women, who perform a growing proportion of home-improvement jobs and have been instrumental in Lowe's rapid growth.

...solidarity. Ten, Kiarostami's latest film, also reflects his unobtrusive approach. Shot with two digital cameras affixed to the dashboard of the car in which the entire film takes place, it records the young driver's conversations with ten passengers as she ferries them around Tehran. With its sparse format and pungent dialogue - such as the woman's heated exchange with her angry, articulate 10-year-old son, who is furious that in order to obtain a divorce, she accused his father of drug abuse - Ten works at an astonishing level of emotional detail and conveys a huge amount...
