Just then, a piece of floating paper pressed flatly against our office window. The edges were charred dark brown. It was a piece of company letterhead that said “Marsh USA.” Everyone let out a gasp at the sight of it; Marsh was on the 95th floor of the north tower...

...stocks were up, up, up (when was the last time we saw 200-point curbs in on the upside?) after the National Association of Purchasing Management (NAPM) said its index of industrial activity soared last month as factories upped production and lowered inventories amid - gasp! - new orders.

...Maybe this doesn't matter. Nobody goes to hear an action movie. Everybody wants to see Li in action. So watch him defeat bad guys with the tools of domesticity: a mop, a bale of laundry and (ouch) an iron. Gasp as he kicks a billiard ball out of an end pocket, then swats it, cricket-bat-style, into a villain's cranium. See him use a desk drawer as a truncheon. He sneaks past a sentry's guardhouse outside the evil inspecteur's police station and, just to show he can, he rams his foot through his guardhouse door...
