...Thug chic has come to movies in the extravagantly buff and tattooed torso of Vin Diesel. Looking like the spawn of Otto Preminger and Mike Myers' Dr. Evil, Diesel went from 0 to 60 in last year's cheapie auto-mania epic, The Fast and the Furious. Now he's back in an even more rickety star vehicle. Full of implausible chase scenes (Ever go skateboarding ahead of an avalanche?), director Rob Cohen's epic is pretty inept, while lacking the idiot intensity that makes for a classically bad movie.

Indeed, no matter which direction you look from the 16-story Commission headquarters in Brussels, the bullets are flying fast and furious.

...Fatah official tells TIME. "He has lost hope of any progress." Abu Mazen visited Washington in early 2001 for prostate-cancer surgery and, while recovering, met with Powell at the State Department. One of the subjects discussed was Arafat's succession. When Arafat heard about the meeting, he was furious, according to the Fatah official, and froze Abu Mazen out. --By Massimo Calabresi and Simon Robinson
