...performer. Her charms are enough to keep the movie - entering the marketplace just as the country's financial situation becomes truly dire - from being criminally distasteful. She's got that rare gift for making slapstick seem organic.

The prices for paper, glass and other products in the U.S. have plummeted in recent months, falling more than 75% in many areas. So Brack is busy promoting the policy in person. He was at the center of the Jan. 22 kickoff of a new recycling campaign by the local branch of U.S. paper manufacturer Kimberly-Clark. He played master of ceremonies in a tuxedo made from recycled paper, crafted by one of Peru's top fashion designers. Kimberly-Clark...
