...hardly deny that director Taylor Hackford (The Devil's Advocate) is a skilled craftsman (although I've always wondered how a filmmaker can make it when he has the word "hack" in his name). Proof of Life is a handsome and intelligent picture that's both paced and shot beautifully. The breath-taking, ultra-gritty finale, in which Thorne and his team of mercenaries attempt a daring rescue operation, is reminiscent of the best work of Michael Mann. And yet the finale is also the only point in the movie in which Hackford the storyteller is truly allowed to cast...
...Beach, Roberts has become for Democrats what Harris has become for Republicans. Says county commissioner Mary McCarty, a Republican: "She's the Joan of Arc of the Democratic Committee right now." Other names haven't been so lofty--if they are at all printable. "You are such a Democratic hack," wrote a woman in one of 3,000 e-mails sent to Roberts. "People are laughing at you all over...

Presidential authority, of course, applies primarily to matters of foreign policy - the constitutional separation of powers has traditionally limited the executive branch's authority at home...
...fallout from last week's hack attack on Microsoft just gets more embarrassing for BILL GATES & Co., especially given the part played by the company's software. The unidentified intruders were able to root around inside Microsoft's network for six weeks, steal passwords and sneak looks at the vital source code for future (not current) products, using a Trojan-horse virus called QAZ that's written in a Microsoft programming language (Visual C++). The pilfered passwords were sent to an e-mail address registered in St. Petersburg, Russia, through Hotmail--another Microsoft service. Even worse, Vincent Gullotto, head...
