MINNEAPOLIS--Don King would have been hard-pressed to script a better ending. The inaugural women's NCAA Frozen Four was a great showcase for the sport in this country and an impressive sign of growth in women's hockey...
...Palace West Palace, the story of a gay man and the policeman who arrests him. The editing of Postman was halted by the censors; the film had to be smuggled out of China, and was completed with a grant from the Rotterdam Film Festival. In 1996, Wang Xiaoshuai made Frozen under the pseudonym Wu Ming (literally No Name), for fear of government retribution; another of his films, So Close to Paradise, a noirish study of gangsters in Shanghai, was reshot, recut and withheld for five years.

How does Iceland do it? By touting its reputation for swinging nightclubs packed with platinum-haired babes and hearty Nordic men, its unspoiled natural wonders and, not least, the low-priced winter deals offered by Icelandair, which enjoys a monopoly on air service...
