...some obscure politician is kidnapped one day by her teacher, Gary Soneji (Michael Wincott), at a posh D.C. academy. But Soneji's not really after the little girl-he's involved in an international conspiracy, a.k.a. "the crime of the century." Duh! So he contacts Detective Alex Cross (Morgan Freeman), because he is not after money-it's fame he wants, and Cross, being a renowned author and psychological profiler, is the perfect person to make sure that the book never closes on Soneji's self-declared evil deeds...
...exception to the otherwise humdrum cast is Freeman, who has become something of an archetypal psychologist-detective-figure in the past five years, with roles in both Kiss the Girls and Seven. Seven, on the other hand, actually had what it takes to be a gutsy, successful movie; good acting and good direction, not to mention an interesting premise.

But other factors can also increase the likelihood of DVT. Age is important, says Patrick Kesteven, a consultant hematologist at Newcastle?s Freeman Hospital. A person in his mid-20s has a less than one-in-10,000 chance of developing DVT; by 75, the risk is closer to one in 1,000. Also at higher risk: people who have suffered or are suffering from cancer, women taking contraceptive pills and women...
...that results are in, some press accounts have breathlessly painted the episode as an unmitigated disaster. But that's not really true. Knowing that fetal cells can grow successfully in a patient's brain is a major step forward. And, says Dr. Thomas Freeman, a Parkinson's expert from the University of South Florida, "it's naive to think that you can do a medical intervention in people with end-stage disease and not have complications...
