...shelling out $200 and more to ultrasound centers with cutesy names like Prenatal Peek and Babyview for high-res, golden-hued ultrasound images of fetuses in their amniotic homes. It's not hard to see the appeal. The latest advances in ultrasound technology - from grainy 2-D to glorious 4-D with accompanying DVD - produce images that are impressive, showing facial features, hair, fingers, toes and even a fetus' sex. Some companies throw in a sound track to go with Baby's first video. But there may be risks. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a firm warning...
...spectators all to themselves. For once they were the stars, not just a sideshow in the track-and-field circus. The 10-hour event, won by Russian Irina Korzhanenko (women's) and Ukrainian Yuriy Bilonog (men's), came down to the final throws, a rousing end to a glorious day.

There is a hint of the divided and redivided loyalties that drove the heroes of Hero, but in Daggers the heart overthrows all. This is the kind of movie where a postcoital Zhang whispers to her lover?who's still technically on the other side of their nearly forgotten war?"If we meet again...
