...know a lot of men who've had prostate cancer, and they're the same self-involved, officious, spiteful curs they were before they had prostate cancer. And bully for them. Having cancer is bad enough--you don't have to turn yourself into St. Francis of Assisi or Forrest Gump...
...justify the way they fight, U.S. Military Officers are fond of quoting Confederate general Nathan Forrest's admonition to "git thar fustest with the mostest." But increasingly, even Army generals agree they have been emphasizing the "mostest" at the expense of the "fustest." The Army has a cold war hangover: the war machines of a U.S. armored division tip the scales at 300,000 tons. It took the molasses-like movement of the Army's AH-64 Apache helicopters to Albania during last year's Kosovo conflict to make planners publicly admit this is no way to fight...

But even though Internet surfers are buzzing with conspiracy theories of their own about the film's plotline, test screenings have been less than spectacular...

He takes a few slugs of Diet Coke, has a mouthpiece popped in--actually a set of prosthetic rotten teeth--gets...
...battle with loneliness," Hanks once said. "That's what I always end up being drawn toward." But, I suggest to him, it's more than that; it's a specific, homesick subgenre of loneliness. Captain Miller in Saving Private Ryan, Jim Lovell in Apollo 13, Hanks' man-children in Forrest Gump and Big and even Toy Story--all share one universally sympathetic struggle: fate blows them off course, across oceans and space and time, and they just want to go home...
