...screens a full 28 years ago. Their second - and only other - sortie into cinema, Les Bronzés Go Skiing, released a year later, marked their last incarnation. It's been a long wait, but last week the whole team, older but definitely no wiser, returned to the fray with a third film, Les Bronzés 3: Friends For Life. "This movie is like reuniting with old friends - both for fans, and those of us in it," says actor Gérard Jugnot, who plays Bernard Morin, a small-time businessman with upper-class aspirations. "In 1978, we were...
...Local politics, too, are a complicating factor. Militant Danish Muslims helped push Arabs to join the fray after feeling ignored at home. Some moderate European Muslims claim that the militants sought Arab backing in part as a way of winning financial contributions from wealthy, oil-producing countries. Now that the Danish cartoons have become a cause celebre, local grassroots pressure is building on pro-Western Muslim regimes. Such governments are more susceptible than ever, given how the cartoon controversy arose amid a wave of unprecedented Islamist gains in Middle East elections.

When confronted with a mega-hit like Fox?s ?American Idol,? television executives at competing networks typically respond in the same way: they try to copy it. But NBC has decided to jump into the already-crowded music competition fray in a slightly different fashion-by extending the concept to the Internet.

...Pope himself entered the fray in November, when he used the words "intelligent project" to describe the origins of the universe. Camillo Cardinal Ruini, Benedict's Vicar of Rome and head of the Italian Bishops Conference, went the next step a few weeks later, explicitly endorsing intelligent design. But others have been less eager to jump on the bandwagon, including the Rev. George Coyne, head of the Vatican Observatory, who said, "Intelligent design isn't science, even though it pretends...
...pilot takes you on knuckle-whitening maneuvers at speeds of up to 400 km/h. There's even a chance to engage in mock dogfights, complete with the sound of simulated gunfire and the release of plumes of smoke when you score a "hit" on an enemy aircraft. After the fray, pilots will demonstrate some of the slicker moves required in air combat, including tail slides, inverted spins and loop-the-loops, subjecting you to more eye-popping G-forces than you ever thought possible. And just before you regain terra firma, you'll enjoy a fly-past at just over...
