...Peppering the rest of the cast is: Michael Gough (the butler in all of the Batmans), Ian McDiarmid, (the Emperor in Return of the Jedi,) and Christopher Lee, a London-born actor who, having been in over 250 films and TV shows, holds the title in the Guinness Book of World Records as being the international star with the most screen credits. Such a high-caliber cast demonstrates the power of Tim Burton as a director to attract such talent even for bit parts, and the skill with which he is able to transform even well-known actors into barely...
...Using computer techniques similar to those required to produce sonograms of the human body, the scientists followed the sun's sound waves as they raced through its interior and across its surface at speeds of 20,000 m.p.h. "It's a terrible din," says University of Cambridge astrophysicist Douglas Gough. But, he adds, since millions of explosions are taking place at any single moment, their waves can be plotted like a body scan to create a three-dimensional image of the sun's interior extending down to its huge core, which accounts for 70% of the star's volume...

...parents involved in the New York City controversy fear that exposure to the subject might predispose young children toward homosexuality. Others simply don't want to teach their kids that gay couples are acceptable. "We're asked to park our values about life-style at the door," complains Joanne Gough, a nurse and mother of three children. And a lot of parents are wary of raising premature questions about sexuality in any form. "A six-year-old child cannot understand homosexuality," says Louise Phillips, a New York City attorney who is the mother of two school-age youngsters. "Every parent...
